PARAVION

> play video

This piece was composed by four different units. Two different flows of images, the sound and the letter to the left. One image is a tree filmed in real-time and the other shows different illustrations which seem to be sampled from manuals. This kind of illustrations always seems to have a disadvantage. They are always very hard to understand. They show pretty well how hard it is to create a definite and correct communication, especially if you only communicate with images only. When writing instructions the most important aim should be to make the receiver, the reader of the instruction, to understand your message.


What is important is that the receiver is able to decipher the message correctly. This very seldom happens. Illustrations and other instructions are easily misunderstood and it shows how hard it is to use indirect communication.

The other image, the real-time filming of a tree, seems to follow another discussion. What is nature and how is it constructed? Is it a machine ruled by exact laws or is it just a chaos, where nothing is predictable, where we desperately look for, and fool ourselves that we find, an order? In the same way we are looking for patterns in the nature we try to join together the different parts in Par Avion to find a sense. But is it really necessary? The sound seems to be there just to create a certain mood and maybe it is possible that the images works in the same way. The soundscapes are created by the swedish musician Andreas Tilliander (www.repeatle.com)

The letter then? It is a remarkable one. A code - how shall we decipher it? Is it a threat? An instruction? For what? Does it matter if or how we interpret it? What is clear is that it is not up to the artists to decide. The decision is ours.
