Shift Symm is a collection of three audiovisual works in which Zeno van den Broek focuses on the synesthetic play between his auditive and visual techniques. Van den Broek's sculptural sonic architecture plays on rigorous shifts of compositional symmetry - with results that are both hypnotic and evocative. The works are a window into patterns of formal behavior, an abstract language of rules and interactions drawing inspiration from architecture and the nuances of spatiality. Shifting is a key principle in the three works. Visual and sonic elements - beats, lines and blocks - perpetually breach the symmetry of their arrangements, switch to new paths and start new trajectories. In chains of transformations, order gives way to controlled entropy. Shift Symm will…be exclusively digital, exploring the non-physical art forms of sound and moving image.

Shift Symm.one
Shift Symm.one focuses on linear form. Arrangements shift and distort rhythmically in a textured plane that extends indefinitely, creating waves of noise and roving focal points. As our vista expands, the plane is seen to be one among several, surfaces tangling into emerging textural complexities. Read more...
