Ray-Bearing Vessels Fear The Concavity Of Their Homeworld Geometry
Video, Exhibition in Vašulka Kitchen
For the exhibition Loading Coexistence at Vasulka Kitchen Brno, I created two video and textile works expanding the mythos of my diploma film Concomitant Outgrowth Event. The exhibition explored coexistence and co-emergence between humans and technology, and my contribution focused on the mythology of Ambient Occlusion (AO), reimagining calculation as an unpredictable cosmogonic force.
The two videos depict the initiation of an AO-induced anomaly, one seen from our reality and one from the anomalous world it generates. Installed back-to-back behind hidden corners, the screens created the illusion of an extradimensional passage, as if the computation itself was leaking into the exhibition space. Technically, the works relied on advanced compositing and 3D setups that made the camera (the observer) the central reference for every transformation: vault doors opening in direct relation to viewer position, manifold fields shifting around the point of observation, and a Borges-inspired Aleph visible only from a precise incident angle. All motion was driven by phone accelerometer and gizmo data, producing a disquieting realism without aspiring to optical fidelity.
The outcome was an unsettling audiovisual space where the act of observation itself triggered world-building. By tying nearly every visual element to the observer’s movement, the videos dissolved boundaries between technical process, human gesture, and mythological narrative, suggesting Ambient Occlusion not merely as a render effect but as a generative cosmology.
