You will not enter twice into the same river. Today, yesterday, tomorrow. Room 1.

Σωκράτης:
λέγει που Ἡράκλειτος ὅτι ‘πάντα χωρεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει,’ καὶ ποταμοῦ ῥοῇ ἀπεικάζων τὰ ὄντα λέγει ὡς ‘δὶς ἐς τὸν αὐτὸν ποταμὸν οὐκ ἂν ἐμβαίης.’
Socrates:
Heraclitus says that everything changes and nothing remains and by illustrating the flow of the river he says that you cannot step twice into the same river.
"Cratylus", Plato
You will not enter twice into the same river - today, yesterday, tomorrow.
Impression on the variability of form in time.

In VI and V centuries B.C., thanks to individuals such as Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Heraclitus, in Ionian cities on the coasts of Minor Asia philosophy emerged and build the foundations of today's science. After the conquer of Ionia by Pershians in the middle of VI century B.C. many Greeks emigrated to western colonies, to the so called Great Greece (southern part of the Italian Peninsula and part of Sicily) with philosophers such as Xenophanes and Pythagoras amongst them. Xenophanes was the ancestor of Eleatic School of Philosophy and Pythagoras was the progenitor of Pythagorean Union. For Pythagoreans the most importand substance of the universe was not matter, but the form it aquires by the inscribed information. They perceived the universe as buildt by numbers and explored its harmony.
Idea
A section of a four-dimensional object generates a three-dimensional form. By moving the section's location steadily in time, the resulting form will be subject of change depending on the properties of the four-dimensional object an will give the impression of motion. If the parent object is dynamical, re-section of a previously cut ("past") location will give a different result. By analogy, a place of a future section will produce different image from the one generated by the assumed "present" section steadily moved in time. The future and the past generated from present point of view is different than those generated by the "present" section moving in time.
The projection "You will not enter twice into the same river" presents this idea by animation, on a model reduced by one spatial dimension.

Sound
"You cannot step twice into the same river". Apparently in digital art the algorithms responsible for random sound events are not truly random. They are in fact a mathematical simulation of randomness, however their complex mechanism does not allow us to sense it and our psyche perceive the generated events as random. The steady, artificial repeatability of sound causes in turn a subjectively interpreted perception, as if our mind would persistently attempt to humanize the occurence.
The sound layers are interpretations of digital graphic files, in this case generated from the animation of Andreas Guskos by sound edition software.
Micro-sounds cut from oridinary bitmap files were used for the construction of 2 layers: the dominating rythmics generated by radomness algorithms and the ambient background buildt from noise and supported by digital effects of reverb and delay type, set in various combinations.
By looping back both layers and juxtaposing them to the image, we gain a feeling of autonomous form living it's own life.
