Richard Garet interweaves various media including moving image, sound, multimedia performance, and photography. In work ranging from modified environments to site specific installations to audiovisual screening works, Garet constructs intimate spaces and immersive situations that draw attention to the processes of perception and cognition, and which activate sensorial, physical, psychological phenomena that reflect on the nature and experience of time. Garet’s pieces, whether conceptual in origin or stemming from his investigation of complex systems and algorithmic translations, are informed by the background noise established by mass media culture and the collective arena that surrounds him. Garet’s reductive process seeks to invert the normative function of this background noise, drawing it up from subliminal status to an active presence. He finds further inspiration from material interactions that incorporate problems of context, technology, defunctionalization, commodity, and environment.
Traducido del inglés
Richard Garet combina varios medios incluyendo imagen en movimiento, sonido, performance multimedia y fotografía. A partir de obras que abarcan desde ambientes modificados a instalaciones específicas u obras de proyección audiovisual, Garet construye espacios íntimos y situaciones inversivas que se enfocan en procesos de percepción y cognición, activando fenómenos sensoriales, físicos y psicológicos que reflexionan acerca de la naturaleza y el paso del tiempo. Las piezas conceptuales de Garet, o las surgidas a partir de su investigación de sistemas complejos y traducciones de algoritmos, se originan del ruido de fondo establecido por la cultura de medios de masa y el campo de colectividad que lo rodea. El proceso de reducción de Garet tiene como objetivo invertir la función normativa de este ruido de fondo, llevándolo de su estatus subliminal a una presencia activa. Garet encuentra mayor inspiración de las interacciones materiales que incorporan problemas de contexto, tecnología, des-funcionalización, mercancía y medio ambiente.
