Studio Visit: Dmitry Gelfand and Evelina Domnitch


Yesterday, I was afforded the opportunity to spend the afternoon talking with Dmitry and Evelina about topics such as; evolution, cosmology, biophysics, optics and ultrasound, as well as, collaborations between the arts and sciences. The discussion of ultrasound centered around two works in particular: Camera Lucida and Sonolevitation, simply because this area of their work closely resembles my own interests in developing sonic environments. Overall, the importance of collaborations between highly specific fields of research and practice (e.g. artistic and scientific) was a recurring theme. There are mutual benefits, if only given the opportunity to lift the box off of one's head.
