MÄYÄ
Human beings are constantly distracted and misled by the chaos of
the mundane world and the multiplicity of phenomena, mistaking
the impermanent as if it were lasting, and confusing illusion with
reality.
Mäyä is an inter-modal installation based on the ancient traditions
of the Mandala. The work reinterprets the symbolism of the Mandala
and fuses ancient forms, symbols, sounds and mythologies with
current technologies. Through projection mapping, video art and
sound design Mäya evolves and transforms - moving through
geometric symmetry and ancient sonic entities - into hyper-real
abstraction and granular forms.
Objective thought is unaware of the subject of perception.This
is because it provides itself with a world ready made” (Merleau
