The Invisible Dog presents an exhibition by Richard Garet, Electrochroma.

In a dedicated room built in the back of the gallery, Garet combines kinetic light images from 16mm film, abstract imagery, electronic music, and a mist of fog to create an environment intended to generate experiential physical and psychoacoustic responses. The 52-minute projected installation, with a surround sound symphony of molded experimentation, profound bass echoing, modulated frequencies, static noises, white noise, and sine waves, will play on the hour throughout the day.

Electrochroma is a time-based contemporary landscape, created in a digital environment utilizing several software processes to manipulate image, sound, and translations from the film’s imagery to sound. The project continues the artist’s interest in the phenomena found and produced in time-based media, and human beings’ relationship with both artificial and natural environments. His audiovisual exploratory steps are focused on concept and function, material and process, listening, viewing, and experience. Richard Garet states, “When creating a piece I reflect on what the work is meant to accomplish, how it functions in relationship to the space and affects the audience, and how sound and visual content are connected to one another. These questions determine my choices and influence the direction of the work.”

Garet’s work interweaves multiple media including live performances, moving image, sound, and photography, exemplifying the core of Crossing the Line. He is the youngest of the three world-renowned, multi-generational, visual and sound artists invited to premiere sound-based works for the festival, alongside Ryoji Ikeda and Eliane Radigue.

This exhibition is co-presented by The Invisible Dog Art Center and Crossing The Line
