Our project


STENTORIZE IT is a multidisciplinary collaboration and combines plexiglass engraving, pottery, light design, journalism, music, discussion and live DJ set.
Stentors will be engraved, as they were first observed under the microscope in the 19th century by the German physiologist Ernst Haeckel, in two plexiglass panels 2mX1.5m. The panels will be experimentally engraved by hand and illuminated so as to produce a 3D image with subtle movement of the stentors when they are seen with special (red cyan) glasses.

We creating two clusters of clay stentors hanging from the ceiling that each form the prototype of a stentor. The clusters will be illuminated so as their shadows to surround the plexiglass panels.

We creating a music piece with sound bites from the Arab spring and the rescue operations of refugees in the Mediterranean. The piece will be played by speakers next to the clay clusters so to produce subtle movement by vibration.

The movement in our installation is subtle but is there ... without movement there is no life...
The numerous «Stentora» reflect the Mediterranean people: Each one of them with the strength of 50 they revolt, demonstrate, get organized through social media, get slaughtered, are drowned... they survive and moving through the border less water, with the strength of 50 they hope... 
Shadows, thrown by light from computer screens, mobiles and tablets, flow to join in formations; forms yet still hanging in waiting in the shadows of history.
