How can we re-approach the continuous becoming of the city,
technology, the self, and our interpersonal relations? This audiovisual
installation by Medea Electronique explores how collective realities
emerge through a manifold system. The work operates as a machine that
transforms participants’ subjective experiences into gradient fields
structured by polar opposites. Audiovisual material—video, sound, and
fragments of the urban environment—is gathered and processed within
these fields, producing a dynamic set of relations rather than fixed
narratives.
Perspectives and viewpoints remain multiple, generating points of
encounter, conflict, resonance, and reflection. Through dense layering,
abstraction, and visual processing, the installation constructs a
perceptual environment in which image, sound, and data continuously
overlap and recombine. Rather than accumulating stories, the system
differentiates them, foregrounding minor, local intensities over dominant
representations. Through the Survival Apparatus, the city emerges as a
continuously recomposed field—a post-digital ruin shaped by collective
becomings and transversal connections.
