NOLANDX is an audiovisual composition. Patterns synchronized in sound and image are organized along a cyclic basic structure. The image planes are the aesthetic nucleus of the work, along with algorithmically generated noise and lines as well as recordings of ocean waves. This referential source material is significantly transformed by slit-scan and other interventions on the time level – all time sequences are shifted. Everything is in a state of increasing transformation. The image and image-flow manipulations are like steep filters, not independent of the material fed into the filter, but significantly transforming it. The pictorial space appears gelatinous, sometimes crumbly, diffusely hyper-sharp, a pulsating, stereoscopically black-and-white space, glassy, dark. Qualities such as elasticity, viscosity, depth and temperature describe this space.
