Quadrophonic Audiovisual Installation / Web Art

Everything conditions everything else. Every frequency implies other frequencies. Every activation reshapes the field.

PЪ7×7 begins from an observation about the present: systems overlap, fragment, and remain radically interdependent. The work takes an agnostic stance toward determinism and randomness alike. What it makes audible is connection itself: the law of action and reaction operating across domains, the way each element in a system disposes the next without determining it.

Two 7×7 frequency matrices (Podhuk at 28 Hz, Korinton at 70 Hz) produce 98 tones derived from just intonation and the golden ratio. Between them arise ghost tones: psychoacoustic phenomena the brain generates from what the speakers do not emit. Beating, combination tones, missing fundamentals. The act of listening creates content beyond what the system produces.

An I Ching oracle, seeded by the current state of the sound field, reads the acoustic situation every seven minutes and transforms it. Sound producing oracle producing sound. A barycentric conductor orchestrates noise, live radio (ex-Yugoslav and ambient streams), and matrix layers. Cross-synthesis dissolves the boundary between voice and static. The system ages: after 30 minutes the noise darkens, the space widens, the feedback deepens.

49 cells per matrix. 49 yarrow stalks. 49 minutes per cycle. The 50th element, the one set aside, makes everything possible.
