D A W N (Sahar Homami & Or Sarfati) - R Ä A H
R Ä A H, is a generative live audiovisual composition. For this piece, the artists aim to question the essence of audio-visual relationships in an environment where the image is the trigger for sound whereas classically it is the other way round. “RÄAH” assembles various audiovisual paths and generates an abstract procedure of movement. R Ä A H (In Farsi meaning method or manner of doing something), is an intersection of MOVEMENT, INTERACTION and LIVENESS. Movement is the basis for the creation of the environment. Interaction occurs between the image and sound and their relation with the artists. The piece acts like an organic form that can be translated into various media. It supports the idea of procedural liveness—how the machine performs—and aims to put it in parallel with aesthetic liveness—human performance and improvisation- that takes place within its carefully crafted structure. http://www.dawnav.com
