Dialog with Nature

Winter is quiet.
Winter is slow.
As time loses its meaning, we call it change.
Winter is an opportunity to embody the open outdoors and experience its augmented style.
A realization through an elusive sound and light composition. Dialog Nordique encourages
an audience to engage and explore.
Drawing from the elements of winter through the lens of the 21st human and presents the
current nature of the Anthropocene.
An environment influenced by pace, space and wonder; Dialog Nordique is a measurement
suspended as time loses its meaning before you and around you. Influences the mind,
influences the heart, influencing the mind influencing the heart. Darkness, human in shadow.
Brian D’Angelo

 

What you see is also imagined

Remember the last time you saw sunshine reflecting on water? The colors, motion, and
sparkling patterns expanded the idea of what water can be. Your sight and imagination
created new perceptions in your mind’s eye. This is the essence of my work –
transforming your visual perception through light and time.
Lumia is an artistic practice in which the composer manipulates the attributes of light and
time to create evocative imagery across a variety of visual media.
Vision is an inextricable, entwined process that involves all senses. It evolves continually
to ensure we survive in a constantly changing environment. Whenever our eyes see, our
vision system is actively seeking cues and clues that could impact us, at the speed of
light. Our minds process these inputs through emotional and logical filters. Memories on
multiple levels are accessed. Abstract models to achieve understanding are constructed.
All of the above take place at every moment of our lives. When we are awake, we’re
processing incoming images to stay alive in the physical world. When we dream, we
create and project the images in our minds that visualize and realize our metaphysical
experiences. The goal of my art is to allow the viewer to straddle the boundary between
the physical world of what we see and the metaphysical universe of what we imagine.
