Technical rider of the project
1. Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
The World Is a Vibration is a multi-screen audiovisual installation investigating image as an energetic and temporal phenomenon rather than a narrative construct.
The work departs from the collapse of explanatory language. Instead of storytelling, it operates through oscillation, duration, and resonance between parallel image fields. The installation creates a spatial condition in which meaning emerges through rhythm, repetition, and perceptual tension across multiple screens.
The project examines:
the exhaustion of narrative structures,
the image as vibration rather than representation,
time as a material,
landscape as a residual field after ideological or symbolic collapse.
The work positions itself within the expanded cinema tradition, where cinematic language extends into architecture and spatial experience. Technology functions structurally — shaping temporal behavior, synchronization, and spatial relationships — not as spectacle.
The viewer is immersed in a suspended perceptual environment where resonance between screens becomes the primary generator of meaning.

12. Additional Notes
The installation can be adapted to different spatial conditions.
The number of screens may expand or reduce depending on architectural constraints.
The work is loop-based and designed for continuous exhibition format.
