The Visual Music of Digital Lumia and Synaesthesia.
Digital Lumia owes its very existence to pure inspiration from seeing the work of the 20th Century Lumia artist, Thomas Wilfred. Mr. Wilfred's compositions were performed in concerts and exhibited as light sculptures throughout the United States and Europe. They were always silent -- visual music. George Stadnik intends that participants interpret the imagery synaesthetically - what the eye saw in the composition, triggered the mind to create the complementary or contrasting sound, flavor, texture or feeling. The aesthetic goal of Stadnik's Digital Lumia compositions is to have them trigger images, feelings sand sounds, memories etc. The viewer/participant should add their own to what they see. That way each viewing will be fresh and new.
George Stadnik's work builds on that tradition and brings it into a contemporary cultural context to inspire and stimulate each participant to discover and create their own visions, stories and emotions within.
Digital Lumia is created by using optical simulation algorithms and software to construct virtual optical machines. The elements within each machine are adjusted over time so that a visual sequence of changes in color, refraction, reflection and shadow is composed. The resulting sequence is tested with key frames, then rendered in one of several resolution and file formats available for output.
