Point of Dispersion is an intermedia spatial installation constructed from materials reclaimed from the city’s deteriorating urban fabric, including post-industrial fragments, bent aluminium cable trays, and street-lighting components recovered during demolition. Removed from their original functional contexts, these elements operate as autonomous carriers of time, transformation, and accumulated meaning. The work investigates what happens to an object at the moment it loses its function. As it ceases to be a tool and becomes waste, a gradual dissolution of the boundaries between the forms that constitute reality begins to emerge.
Embedded within the installation is a digital data-processing system that responds to bodily presence. The collected information undergoes successive transformations and manifests as shifting configurations of pale, flickering light. The system develops its own internal language, while light becomes a medium through which the installation records its current state and its relationship to its surroundings. The flicker – reminiscent of a failing streetlamp – draws attention and provokes a search for meaning. It functions simultaneously as a sensor and an attractor of presence.
The installation operates as a system of translations, materialising the same event across multiple levels of perception. The viewer enters into a relationship with the work, while the installation, according to its own logic, processes that presence. Meaning emerges within the tension between human perception and materiality, between signal and interpretation, between presence and its inscription.
