[Text available only in English] REFRACTIVE INDEX is an audiovisual performance by MONOCOLOR. The entirely algorithmic and generative images and sounds of the work create an audiovisual experience that is always in a state of flux. Pointclouds form structures and shapes that alternate between intricate, architectural formations and natural, organic patterns. The concept of refraction, which describes the change in the deflection of light as it passes from one medium to another, is artistically tested and applied to the translation from image to sound and sound to image. The contradiction in the title, in which refraction is an analog, natural phenomenon and the index is an attempt to quantify and represent this phenomenon, points to the field of tension in which the work moves, both conceptually and aesthetically.
