Description
Summary:Chimerizations features a radically new form of documentation of Florian Hecker's sound works that dramatize the phenomenon of Auditory Chimaeras. The publication presents the documentation of Hecker's recent sound pieces, including Magnitude Estimation, 2010, Hecker Leckey Sound Voice Chimera, 2011, Bregman/Deutsch Chimera, 2011, Chimerization (MIT Project), 2011 Chimerization 2012 and Hinge, 2012. The images, installation-reference and productions stills, have been altered by Hecker using a Sift Flow Algorithm. The result is varied and idiosyncratic, with the same image undergoing multiple translations, effectively creating a visual parallel to the chimeric phenomenon produced in the sound works they document.
