in-progress, 2026-27
Real-time network installation and transmission work integrating radio reception, machine listening, computer vision, distributed projection, spatial audio, and live transmission.
Spectral Parallax is an in-progress installation and transmission work that investigates how perception takes shape across radio signals, networked systems, computational processes, and human attention. Drawing from real-time inputs received at the site of exhibition — broadcasts, location-based imagery, environmental data — the work passes these inputs through machine listeners and viewers that learn the site and accumulate a contextual register specific to each location.
Rather than centering interpretation, the work focuses on how signals are measured, delayed, grouped, and displaced as they move through different layers of reception. Speech, image, and signal processing feed agents that hold longer durations than human attention, segment perception differently, and remember without forgetting. The work returns these transformations through a recursive transmission layer that redistributes what is registered across the room and beyond. Computation operates not as explanation, but as one perceptual condition among others.
Within this shifting system, forms and subjects do not appear as fixed entities but as temporary constellations: they gather, separate, and decay in real time. Identifiable speakers and persons are not retained; fragments enter the work anonymized, drawn from the public commons. What the work makes available to perception is the asymmetry between human and machinic attention — two registers held in view without resolution.
Spectral Parallax is structured as a series of site-specific iterations; the first realization is planned for 2027.
