Synchronicity (16mm)
16mm photographic film was directly exposed to the light of two captive fireflies (Pteroptyx malaccae). Inside a dark space, without camera or optics, the insects were simply placed on an analogue film strip.

Synchronicity (East Lansing)
Synchronicity is a series of installations exploring the emergence of natural cycles and synchrony inside an artificial biosphere. Live fireflies and crickets are made to flash and chirp in unison with two synchronising pendulums by manipulating the insect’s behaviour through lights and sounds. Inspired by this synchrony an array of electronic devices join the chorus and start to flicker, buzz or move in unison.

Synchronicity (Thailand)
In a mangrove forest in Thailand live fireflies (Pteroptyx malaccae) synchronise their flashes with computer controlled LED’s. By establishing a light-based form of communication with the insects, the artists influence the rhythmic flashing of large colonies of fireflies. A silent orchestra harmonises without the need for a conductor. With no central control, computers and insects interact in this rhythmic composition of light.

Five Dreams of Nikola Lenivets (2013)
5 CHOB НИКОЛА-ЛЕНИВЦА (5 Dreams of Nikola Lenivets) is a multichannel sound composition based on recordings made with inhabitants of Nikola Lenivets in Russia. Using techniques from improvised theatre, dance and psychotherapy we reenacted dreams the participants had in the village. Psychodrama methods

Firefly Sync Simulation
a small max / jitter patch which simulates a system of coupled oscillators as in synchronizing fireflies. it’s inspired by algorithms described by Steven Strogatz in his book “Sync”. let me know if you make something with it! I tested this patch

Remember Me? (2007)
Audiovisual Installation with Noël Dernesch at Artrepco Gallery in Zurich. Music generated by an algorithm inspired by synchronizing fireflies. Remember me? oscillates between illusion and truth, projection and reality. It raises questions about identity, about our “vision” and our history.
