Just as the most extreme concret works, using only basic plastic elements, The minimal animation “HIPNOPTIC” plays with primary elements like moving lines and surfaces, It´s a work of the team composed by visual artist Cristina Ghetti and the Spanish DJ Carlos Plume, who made a special soundtrack for the work.
Recapturing postulates of “op art”, but employing them with the image in movement, patterns, flashing and vibration, this video instalation proposes a perceptual experience related on how our sense of vision works, but it´s also a reflection about information, about the enormous number of images in wich we are inmerse daily.
HIPNOPTIC sends us to the idea of speed and multiplicity, but the approach is made from a perspective of minimal elements. Instead of generating a visual abstract mass departing from figurative images, it splits of synthetic, purely abstract images. It proposes us a universe of tidy, changeable and ephemeral forms. The question considers between to “deal” and to “see”, the repetition and cadence of the images generates a hypnotic effect.
