Installation. Geert Mul 2008

The installation SNX4 (Snow times 4) comprises four screens presenting the visual and auditory experience of a snowstorm. During the recording, Mul experimented with the video camera’s shutter speeds, aperture settings, and depth of field, creating diverse visual representations of a single natural phenomenon. The sound design for each screen was crafted later, with Mul using image analysis of the snowflakes to generate corresponding sounds. This audiovisual artwork oscillates between a romantic and aesthetic depiction of falling snow and electronic audiovisual noise.
