Oculus investigates the acoustic properties of visual art display
mechanisms, combining field recordings and synthesized sound. Can visual
information be described by the sound of its display? Are these sounds and
their corresponding images mutually exclusive, or symbiotic? What happens
when the background is separated from the foreground - does it merely
leave a gaping hole, or create a new object with its own relationships and
contexts to explore?

John Kannenberg creates quietly reflective works in both image and sound
that blur the boundaries between intention and accident. His works deal
with a wide variety of themes including time, nature, mindful
contemplation, collection, the sonics of space and place, and the
processes of both making and observing art. John is the creator, designer
and curator of Stasisfield.com, an interdisciplinary digital art space
presenting a worldwide selection of artists.
