The Musrara School exhibition brings together two young creators, students of Musrara, the Naggar School of Art and Society, Jerusalem, exhibiting fragments of their graduation projects.
As an educational institution for art studies, Musrara constantly strives to find new approaches and concepts in the fields of art and allows each student to develop and specialize practically and conceptually according to his or her inclinations and personal and professional ability.
Ilay Skutelsky, a student of the Department of New Media Art, and Shelly Reizis, a student of the Department of New Music, both present, each in their own unique voice, a point of view that dismantles and rebuilds structures based on nature and culture. For this, tools and practices taught in Musrara are used, as well as unique personal languages. In both projects, the code and algorithm are used as a technique for disassembling and reassembling images, and at the same note becomes an image in itself that is displayed next to the others.

Entering a Room and Seeing All Those Same Faces Again (ERSATSFA)
Shelly Reizis (IL)
The installation Entering a Room and Seeing All Those Same Faces Again is a musical algorithm which outputs small musical compositions from reconstructed audio recordings. The algorithm performs audio-descriptive analysis on the recordings, reducing the audio source to numbers.

As the moon gets fuller and brighter, more data is introduced to the image, and the source code grows, creating a tide of data that rises and falls with the moon’s cycle.
