Ivan Marusic Klif: Synchronicity
24. 8. to 31 . 8. 2009, Opening: Monday 24th August . 21 to 23 h, open daily 21 to 22 h , free entrance

Synchronicity is a performance and an authorial DVD edition. A� multichannel media performance separates a performer from his� audience, while picture and sound get transferred from a confined� scene space into an open space of auditorium. Author-performer uses� simple light and audio devices, from time to time employing his own� voice, partially live and partially reproduced, in order to gradually�build happening of the image and the sound.

The performance is transmitted live into separated open space via 4�cameras and 4 microphones. Each camera and each microphone has its own�screen and speakers system. Hence, image and sound transfer is�happening with no additional processing, in 1:1 ratio. The performer�has no feedback information as to what the audience hears and sees.
Through combining light and sound sources, appearance and acoustics of� the space is being continually changed and adapted. A small shift�within inner space causes very big changes in the outer space. The�performance is recorded full time. The second stage of project realization is a DVD edition. DVD medium�enables setting of parallel channels of video, sound and text in an�interactive modus. In this manner, a subject of synchronicity is again�being referred to through another media. The same DVD is�simultaneously a document of performance and an independent multimedia�work. It is distributed as an artwork and project documentation at the�same time. Thus authorised, the DVD renders an independent interactive�work which is set within gallery space as a projection with Dolby�surround sound system and remote control. The later enables visitors�to combine and change channels of sound, video and text. Each of the�few channels explains separate performance segment, for example, music�and sound; author’s inner state; motivation; treatment of sound�preparation, etc….
