Performance or installation about the vertical layering dislocations
inspired by geodetic phenomenoms, frictionnal slidings, fossil earthquakes and the geologycal modelings, seismik use stress fields to provoque tension between vertical layering dislocations.
using the siesmic data of our planet territories, herman kolgen create, with this new work, nervous stratigraphic audiovisual motifs.
How was it made? Herman Kolgen sent us these images and description of their setup,
We created different app in OpenFrameworks to connect in realtime with the seismik data
