At The Beginning Was Noise
Audiovisual installation, 2018
@vimeo @soundcloud
At the Beginning was Noise has originated out of the abstinence of structured thoughts. Out of a maximal state of entropy this project creates structures and forges order out of undefined inner chaos. Furthermore it questions the things behind our capacity of scientific explanations and draws connections to metaphysical concepts.
The foundation of the installation are different noise colours, which were forged into an ambient soundscape. The sound then becomes live-visualised through a Processing script. The visualisation process is based on a Fast Fourier Transformation, which analyses sound in terms of the allocation and level of all frequency bands in real time.

My artistic practice spans film, sound art and installation, exploring how realities are formed through processes of selection, omission and interpretation.
I am drawn to elements that are usually unnoticed or deliberately excluded. These include abandoned urban spaces, discarded fragments of digital sound, invisible technological systems, and mediated images of distant events. By isolating and recontextualising these residual layers, I bring them into the foreground, turning absence into a central aesthetic and conceptual component.
Reconstruction from incomplete information is a recurring method in my work. Examples include architectural forms reconstructed from incomplete archival imagery, sound composed from restoration artefacts, and organic systems controlled by digital data. These serve to expose how unstable and subjective our understanding of reality can be.
Sound plays a structural role throughout my practice. I often generate compositions from the traces of physical or digital processes, transforming them through feedback and abstraction to create immersive atmospheres oscillating between familiarity and unease.
My works function as perceptual environments rather than linear narratives. They invite viewers to experience uncertainty and question how reality is mediated, constructed, and emotionally internalised.
