  Press Release

  I-20 presents a project by Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand, their 
second collaboration with the gallery. Last June they enabled rooftop 
viewers to experience a rare celestial event: the passage of Venus 
between the Sun and the Earth.
  Unlike countless artworks that attempt to evoke a state of 
synesthesia, their current project, Camera Lucida, is a continually 
evolving light sculpture that allows one to see sound moving through 
space – right at the delicate horizon where acoustics and optics meet. 
By means of a phenomenon called sonoluminescence, sound waves are 
directly converted into light inside a glass chamber filled with 
gas-infused liquid. After adapting to the absolute darkness surrounding 
the installation, the viewer/listener gradually perceives the highly 
detailed shapes and movements of multiple sound sources. Previously, 
the only way to view sonoluminescence has been in a highly specialized 
sonochemical laboratory. Now it is in an altogether different 
environment. Camera Lucida presents the first opportunity for people 
outside the scientific community to experience this rare phenomenon.

  Researchers have been probing sonoluminescence since 1934. Though the 
phenomenon still cannot be fully explained, it is known that the light 
emanates from imploding microscopic gas bubbles triggered by an 
acoustic field, which renders sound visible. In this conversion of 
sound into light, temperatures are produced that are as high as those 
found on the surface of the Sun.

  Created over the past three years in collaboration with scientific 
laboratories in Japan, Germany, Belgium, Russia, the United States, and 
Belarus, Camera Lucida is among the largest displays of 
sonoluminescence in the world. The artwork was created by the 
Russian/American team of Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand, who are 
part of a new generation of artists linking the legendary frontiers of 
the techno-scientific west and the spiritual east.

  Employing ephemeral materials and rejecting the use of fixative and 
recording media, Domnitch and Gelfand create art works that exist as 
ever transforming phenomena, offered for observation. Their projects 
have been exhibited at White Box, New York; The Museum of Dreams, St. 
Petersburg; Softopia, Japan; Mains d’Oeuvres, Paris; Quartier Ephemere, 
Montreal; Netmage, Bologna; The Minsk Planetarium, Belarus; Nokia Lab, 
Moscow.
