Blue Noise / Plavi šum exhibition

 

Blue Noise / Plavi šum                                                           (English below)

U multimedijalnoj instalaciji „Plavi šum”, autorka polazi od simbola srca kao centralnog organa fizičkog i emocionalnog zdravlja čoveka, kako bi reflektovala nad dubljim aspektima psiho-fizičkih fluktuacija, nestabilnosti i disbalansa. Podaci o sindromu srčane slabosti, prikupljeni metodom diferencijalnih korelacija grafički prikazane u vidu mreže, sastavni su deo vertikalno komponovanog vizuelnog triptiha kao svojevrsni elektrokardiogram ljudske ranjivosti prikazan u tehnici cijanotipije na platnima u kombinaciji sa analognim fotografijama. Na ovim radovima su predstravljena tri simbola i arhetipa: žena kao voda, muškarac kao zemlja i drvo koje simbolizuje prirodu za koju je čovek oduvek dirketno vezan. 

Nasuprot ovim misterioznim i eteričnim “plavim šumovima” prikazane su crno-bele analogne fotografije  koje “odzvanjaju” ehom vetrovitih morskih pejzaža, kao kontrateža umirujućim tonovima prirode i njenoj stabilnijoj vezi sa čovekom. Treći deo postavke čine analogne kolor fotografije primorja, na kojima snoliki tretman svetlosti i tekstura proizvodi umirujuć efekat na posmatrača. 

  

Zvuk prožima instalaciju, povezujući centralni motiv i temu izložbe atmosferčnim, ambijentalnim dronovima. Istovremeno, granularni tretman, dopunjen terenskim audio snimcima, sinestetički dočarava dinamiku fotografskih pejzaža, kreirajući time imerzivno iskustvo sa potencijalom u sferi muzikoterapije.

U vremenu velikih socijalnih previranja, farmako-medicinske skeptičnosti i iregularnog ritma življenja, vizuelizacije na platnima imaju za cilj da na intiman način integrišu naučni pristup kroz analize iz različitih polja istraživanja u cilju podizanja svesti o zdravstvenoj zaštiti ljudi, dok nas audiovizuelni stimulansi okreću spram unutrašnjeg sveta i postavljaju pitanje: Kako je naše srce danas?

Saradnici na ovom projektu su Nina Jovanovć sa kliničkim istraživanjem Promenjenog nivoa lipida u krvi kod srčane insuficijencije i prateći muzički deo rada koji potpisuje Nemanja Dunđerski.

Izložba će biti otvorena 15. aprila u 19h u galeriji Stara Kapetanija u Zemunu, (Kej Oslobođenja 8) i trajaće do 4.maja 2025.godine.

Biografije autora:

Milica Nikolić je vizuelna umetnica koja radi na polju eksperimentalnih tehnika fotografije i dizajna uz angažovana istraživanja kulturno-istorijskog i prirodnog nasleđa. Nakon završenog Fakulteta primenjenih umetnosti u Beogradu 2010, njeni radovi prikazani su na Tokijskom univerzitetu fotografije, dok je samostalno izlagala 10 puta i na brojnih grupnim izložbama i projektima u više zemalja. Redovni član udruženja ULUPUDS i ICOM Srbija. Živi i radi u Zemunu kao samostalna fotografkinja i restauratorka arhivske građe na projekatima kojima je cilj očuvanje kulturne baštine naročito preventivne zaštite fotografskih zbirki i arhiva . Uporedo sa ovom izložbom takođe izlaže na grupnoj izložbi „Život je lep" u galeriji Steps u Tokiju. 

Nina Jovanović je istraživač-doktorand u oblasti Sistemske Biologije u Max Delbrück Centru za Molekularnu Medicinu u Berlinu, i bavi se primenom statističkih analiza i mašinskog učenja u kardiologiji. Osnovne studije iz Biologije i master studije iz Biotehnologije i Genetičkog Inženjerstva završila je na Biološkom fakultetu u Beogradu. Tokom studija posebno interesovanje razvila je prema istraživanju mikrobioma creva i njegovim implikacijama u ljudskom zdravlju i patologiji. Nakon završetka master studija radila je kao pisac naučnih članaka, sa fokusom na ishranu, mikrobiom, i suplemente u službi poboljšanja zdravstvenog statusa i lečenju inflamatornih i metaboličkih oboljenja. 

Nemanja Dunđerski je autor elektronske muzike. Tokom aktivnih godina etikete Àsino Elettronico (2008-2012), objavljivao je apstraktnu elektroniku pod pseudonimom Xiqhhyiecryn, da bi kasnije istraživao dublje tehno forme kroz projekat Associative. Zvuk je oduvek smatrao sredstvom introspekcije, a u svom sadašnjem radu, Nemanja je posvećen eksperimentalnoj muzici i sound art-u.

Blue Noise

In the multimedia installation "Blue Noise", the author uses the symbol of the heart as a central organ of the physical and emotional health in a person, in order to reflect on the deeper aspects of psycho-physical fluctuations, instability and imbalance. Informations about the “heart failure syndrome”, using method of differential correlations visualized as a network, are an integral part of a vertically composed visual triptych as a kind of electrocardiogram of human vulnerability which is displayed on the canvases using cyanotype technique in combination with analog photographs. Three symbols and archetypes are represented in these works: woman as a water, man as an earth and a tree that symbolizes nature which man has always been directly connected to. As a contrast to these mysterious and ethereal "blue noises", black and white analog photographs are displayed that seem to be "resonating" with the echo of windy seascapes, as a counterweight to the calming tones of nature and its more stable relationship with humankind. The third part of the exhibition consists of analog color photographs of the coast, where the dreamlike treatment of light and texture produces a relaxing effect on the viewer. 

The sound which is spread throughout the installation is connecting the central motif and theme of the exhibition with atmospheric, ambient drones. At the same time, the granular treatment, complemented by field audio recordings, synesthetically evokes the dynamics of photographic landscapes, thus creating an immersive experience with potential in the sphere of music therapy. 

In a time of great social turmoil, pharmaco-medical scepticism and an irregular rhythm of living, these visualizations on canvases aim to integrate a scientific approach in an intimate way through analyses from different fields of research with the aim of raising awareness of people's health care, while audio-visual stimuli turn us towards the inner world and ask the question: How is our heart today? 

Collaborators on this project are Nina Jovanović, clinical researcher on “Altered blood lipid levels in heart failure”, and Nemanja Dunđerski who created the accompanying music work. 

The exhibition will be opened on April 15 at 7 pm in the Stara Kapetanija gallery in Zemun, (Street Kej Oslobođenja 8) and will be open until May 4, 2025.
