NomIg

|| pdx_01 – NomIg.||

‘pdx_01' is a captivating work of equal parts sight and sound scape. NomIg. fuses technical and aesthetic approaches into the subjectivity of audiovisual perception. It is a journey along the thin rails that divide realism from abstraction and on into the nether regions of holistic experience that refuse delineations between the two. What we perceive as being empty and void is in fact what fills the perceptual environments, engaging the audience in a sensory pas de deux. Through explorations of the natural and the imagined, 'pdx_01' draws the spectator into a world of low-rumbling, wavering frequencies and obscure, ghostly light shapes that dance across our tympanal and retinal membranes.

NomIg. began as a creative duo founded on a shared interest in investigating the relationships between audio and video. NomIg.’s artistic interests lie in applying compositional techniques, usually reserved for music, to digital video. What results is an awareness of a symbiotic relationship between sight and sound; not only a symbiosis in their unification, but also in editing, post-production and performance techniques as well. Together the duo are committed to approaching audiovisual art in terms of what can be learned from the intersections between musical and cinematic points of view on both theoretical and practical levels.

The nomigs are generally found at the glowing helm of their studio where they develop their video works and performances. NomIg. exhibitions include: the 5th edition of MUTEK - Canada; Netmage - Italy; Split Film Festival - Croatia; Invideo Festival - Italy; L.A. Freewaves – US, and Transmediale in Berlin. They can also be found developing the Audiovisual component of the New Forms Festival in Vancouver, acting as North American political scoundrels for Coldcut, and performing live a/v webcasts on Piratetv.net.

Sometimes dreamy, sometimes jarring; their pieces materialize the elusive symbiosis of sight and sound.
