WAV_LENGTH_01

WAV_LENGTH_01 is the first in a series of installation-based, media art performances by Temporary Distortion exploring the intricate relationship between human perception, time, and wavelengths of light and sound.

Each project in the series surveys the history, cultural coding, and sensual impact of a single hue, in order to explore how color resides not in light or material, but in the expansive variety of embodied observations made by the viewer.

WAV_LENGTH_01 is focused on red — thought to be the first color a newborn can discern, the last color we see before dying, and the first color to be named by primitive cultures all over the world. This meditative exploration of red spans the temporal extremes of human experience, from our first moments to our last breaths.
