VIA

Video / 24-Channel Sound / Installation /Size variable / Lillehammer Kunstmuseum 2019
On the way up or down three of the stairs in the Lillehammer Art Museum, unexpected sounds are increasingly tightening into musical sounds and luring us further into the room. At the same time, fragments of paintings that are in the museum's collection appear as abstract structures in short film sequences on the walls. The site-specific audio and video installation VIA by video artist Tone Myskja and musician and composer Jon Balke transforms the stairwells into multimedia experiences that consciously try to sharpen our senses and make us question them.
Art becomes a raw material for new art. Sound can be experienced almost physically, while images lose their material properties. The transition zones between the individual exhibition areas in the museum become exciting echo and reflection rooms. The different parts of the installations grab the basic elements point, line, wave and circle which together create a visual and acoustic alphabet.
