Reflektor Distortion — Carsten Nicolai

I was inspired by Crystal Xue’s Looking Outwards 04. Carsten Nicolai is an artist and musician based in Berlin Germany, and he is known for presenting scientific quality of sound uniquely and artistically. He visualizes sound in minimalist installations. I am particularly inspired by the exhibition Reflektor Distortion at Galerie EIGEN + ART Berlin. The project utilizes disturbances, coincidences and self-organizing structures. Using the contrasting colors black and white, Nicolai visualizes the distortion nuance of frequency. The three main elements used are mirror, image and reflection. Eventually, the surface of a mirror becomes the medium that unveils reality as a distorted reflection.
