Installation (video projections, objects, water, hydrophones, live sound and video processing, computers)

Author: Tanja Vujinovic / Producer: Jan Kušej / Production: Exstat, www.exstat.org / The project has been developed in collaboration with the Marine Biology Station, Piran, Slovenia, http://www.mbss.org/

Description of the project
The audio-visual installation Blipstat deals with the exploration of hidden spaces.
The Blipstat audiovisual work consists of objects, the transmission of data, and partially live processing of digital visual and sound material.
Data retrieved with the help of Marine Biology Station Piran are transmitted to computers, which according to previously defined algorithms produce dynamic and changeable audio-visual signals, which are displayed in the gallery space in near real time. Data retrieved from the station by means of a video camera and sensors that measure meteorological and oceanographic data, together with the data captured by hydrophones in the gallery will continuously provide the elements of the audiovisual installation. These elements will be accompanied by a live video installation whose basis is footage retrieved from the Internet.

Concept of the project
The exploration of hidden spaces and the search for new species are being carried out simultaneously within the deep waters of the sea as well as within the Earth's atmosphere and beyond. Footage of so called space serpents, rods, EBEs (extraterrestrial biological entities), and energyzoaea are available on many Internet video services and mainly consist of amateur video recordings or official footage with additional commentary.
Energyzoaea belong to the notorious class of animals whose existence is not scientifically proven, and which are studied by cryptozoology. The vague evidence of the existence of energyzoaea began to reemerge in the 1990s, all based on anecdotes, supported by mythology, and a small number of trivial video recordings. Energyzoaea, together with other cryptids such as Big Foot and the giant sea snake, have become a very popular part of the package of para-scientific phenomena. As some sort of container for the projection of imaginary and poetic situations, energyzoaea have sparked a series of questions and polemics about the exploration of hidden spaces and the species that inhabit them. In The Secret Life of Puppets, Victoria Nelson analyzed our need to create and aestheticise simulacra and infuse them with soul, pointing towards the ritual functions such entities play in our lives. In The Tailors' Dummies stories, Bruno Schulz casts these metamorphic, amorphous, transitory creatures as, in his words, a kind of pseudofauna and pseudoflora, the result of a fantastic fermentation of matter. These pseudoforms are the result of fusions of various species, suspended at any transitory moment. Just like the Yeti, Big Foot, and the Loch Ness monster, energyzoaea have also inscribed themselves into the history of real-imaginary creatures within the fabricated in-between spaces of the global imagination.
Blipstat juxtaposes popular video footage with scientific measurements and observations of deep-space changes. As a continuation of the Discrete Events in Noisy Domains cycle, Blipstat embodies the tracking of informational noise within cyclic events, and as such continually produces noisy evidence of the potential existence of (un)identified discreet units.

Opis projekta
Zvočno-vizualna instalacija Blipstat se ukvarja z raziskovanjem skritih prostorov.
Delo Blipstat sestavljajo objekti in procesi kot sta podatkovni prenos in delna obdelava digitalnega zvočnega in vizualnega materijala.
Podatki, ki jih zajema morska biološka postaja Piran, se prenašajo v računalnike, ki po v naprej določenih algoritmih proizvajajo dinamične in spreminjajoče se zvočne in video signale, ti pa se v realnem času predvajajo v galerijskem prostoru. Podatki, pridobljeni s postaje, kjer jih zajemajo video kamera in senzorji, ki merijo meteorološke in oceanografske podatke, se skupaj s podatki, zajetimi s pomočjo hidrofonov v galeriji, sočasno, v realnem času uporabljajo za ustvarjanje zvočno-vizualne instalacije v galerijskem prostoru. Tem elementom se pridružuje tudi predvajanje videa, ki se generira v živo in katerega osnova so javno dostopni video posnetki s svetovnega spleta.

Koncept projekta
Raziskovanja skritih prostorov, želja po odkrivanju novih nebesnih teles, živalskih in rastlinskih vrst, in kozmičnih fenomenov se sočasno manifestira v vodnih globinah, pa tudi v Zemljini hemisferi in seže dlje v kozmos. Video posnetki takoimenovanih "kozmičnih kač", nezemeljskih bioloških entitet in pojavov so dostopni na številnih spletnih mestih in so v glavnem sestavljeni iz amaterskih video posnetkov, ali pa obdelanih uradnih posnetkov z dodanimi komentarji.
Takoimenovana zvrst "energijskih zoj" (v angleškem jeziku “energyzoa”) pripada znanemu fenomenu živali - bitij, katerih obstoj ni znanstveno dokazan in s katerimi se ukvarja kriptozoologija. Sumljivi dokazi o obstoju teh živali, o katerih se ponovno govori od leta 1990 naprej, so zasnovani na anegdotah, oprtih na mitologijo, in pičlem videografskem “dokaznem” gradivu. Pojav "energijskih zoj" je skupaj z drugimi kriptidi, kot so Big Foot ali pa velika morska kača, postal sestavni del popularnega paketa psevdoznanstvenih fenomenov. Kot neke vrste omnipotentna posoda, in naprava za formiranje različnih vznemirljivih, čudnih, bizarnih vsebin, ali pa celo monstruoznih posebnosti, je fenomen "energijskih zoj" izzval vrsto vprašanj in polemik o raziskovanju skritih prostorov in bitij, ki te prostore naseljujejo. V knjigi Tajno življenje lutk Viktoria Nelson analizira človekovo potrebo po ustvarjanju, estetizaciji simulakrov in vnašanju duha v te iste simulakre, ki kažejo na rituale in funkcije, ki jih te entitete vnašajo v naša življenja. V zbirki zgodb Krojačeve lutke ustvari Bruno Schulz metamorfna, amorfna tranzicijska bitja, ki so po njegovih besedah neke vrste psevdoflora in psevdofauna, rezultat fantastične fermentacije materije. Te psevdoforme so tudi rezultat fuzije različnih vrst in podvrst, suspendiranih v kateremkoli od lebdečih momentov tranzicije, območij liminalnega v procesu nastajanja - prehajanja iz enega stanja v drugo. Kot nekakšni Jetiji, Big Footi ali pa pošast iz Loch Nessa se je zvrst "energijskih zoj" vpisala v fundus bitij, ki živijo/bivajo nekje vmes v prostorih globalizirane imaginacije.
Delo Blipstat sooča popularno psevdoznastveno video gradivo z znanstvenimi metodami, kot so meritve in opazovanje sprememb v vodnih globinah ter kot nadaljevanje cikla Diskretni dogodki v hrupnih domenah uteleša iskanje informacijskega hrupa v dogodkovnem horizontu ter kot taka kontinuirano proizvaja "hrupne" dokaze o potencijalnem obstoju (ne)identificiranih diskretnih enot.
