Everything vibrates. Vibrations generate/emit information. Nature speaks to us. To fully read and understand nature we need special receivers/transmitters. Everything reaches us, but we do not know how to read everything. We are limited by our senses. Electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves, gravitational waves and perhaps others we don’t know are a record of information. They affect everything around us. They interact with our organisms. Our organisms subjected to these stimuli react, process, generate and emit another portion of information. In this closed/open circuit, information continuously transforms.
The film, which shows a compilation of graphs of sea waves, sunlight and the shape of the bottom formed by water, juxtaposed with a record of a graph of brain waves produced under the influence of a visual/sound stimulus (of the same film) and sound/music, which is a transformation of impressions also under the influence of the same stimulus, is an attempt to translate the encoded information into a comprehensible language. Into the language of emotions.
