My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map. During these sittings I literally cut my passageways through space and time from memory. I simply placed my knife at the starting point of a walk and visualized my movements as my tool traced my footsteps. What you see when looking at the piece is a fictional map of the five boroughs of New York City as they exist in my minds eye. | My perception of time and space was exercised and altered through memory in several long sittings during the creation of this map.

Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences. The biggest reality-producing machine, the media with all its different distribution channels, confronts us with a huge colourfulmoving mass made up of countless pictures and sounds. The question about whether what we see is real or not is neither asked nor encouraged. The catchphrase of modernity is see it and believe it, critical discourse is never held. While in ancient times, following Plato's ideas, reality to some is the dancing of shadows on a cave wall, for us it is the interplay of many differently coloured pixels on flat surfaces. Screens are our viewfinders to the world. Our perception is created by artificial interfaces. The connection between reality and man is created by copper wires and silicon plates. A very fragile umbilical cord highly dependent on those who feed it thus holding the ultimate control. | Nowadays reality is a highly constructed body made up of many different ideas, desires and influences.

==Sofia Dona – ''Twinning Towns: Leipzig—Detroit''== | |||
[[Image:Time Mutations - Sofia Dona - Twinning Towns.jpg|thumb|right|Sofia Dona – Twinning Towns: Leipzig—Detroit]] | |||
The idea of the project was based on the concept of ''town twinning'' (sister cities) whereby towns or cities in geographically and politically distinct areas are paired. The ''town twinning'' concept was applied in the cities of Leipzig and Detroit by focusing on the issue of shrinkage and abandonment. Three examples of that connection were realised. | |||
For the first connection a split video was created, with two trombonists playing in two abandoned swimming pools, one in Leipzig and one in Detroit, in a way that the music of both trombonists creates a composition. | |||
The ''twinning towns: Leipzig -Detroit'' project consists of different actions that could be seen as actual actions and symbolical actions. Actual actions can be considered moving from one city to another, transporting, installing, removing, playing music, being involved in the city's life, exploring, finding materials and cooperating with musicians, craftsmen and art initiatives. On the other hand the symbolic action is the twinning, the attempt to transform, through the exchange of materials, buildings of Leipzig into buildings of Detroit and the other way around, transforming in a way the one city into the other. Although the actual action, of the specific installations or events, is visible only to a limited audience (the passers buy, the people involved in the project, etc) the symbolic action aims to the larger image and idea of the twinning of two cities, a wider concept opened up to a lot of questions on what the twinning of towns could mean. | |||

Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most. Each segment's first sample is zeroed at the previous segment's last sample, and the absolute value of its energy pointed towards zero. In other words, I rearrange the familiar Beatles chronology into barely recognizable segments following an entirely different chronology, that of the universe (from least energy to most, or from order to chaos), and point it, futilely, toward equilibrium. The complete track is then re-divided into the exact lengths of each album and track, and is released in the same chronology as were the correspondingly-long Beatles' albums (but could be played in its entirety and transferred easily online for an installation). | Taking the complete Beatles discography as one track arranged in chronological order (that in which they were released), I divide it into 0.1 sec segments (long enough not to produce a consistent tone, short enough to elude recognition), and then arrange those segments in order of their total energy over each of the 0.1 sec segments, from the least to the most.

In the five movements which make up wash choose peel chop rinse, different stages of the process of making vegetable soup stock are examined in microcinematic detail. Rhythmic audiovisual compositions are revealed in the most mundane and subtle aspects of the preparation of various different vegetables. This video was premiered at the opening ceremony of Transmediale 2011, Berlin. | |||
