Richard Garet’s moving image work is characteristic of lavish, kinetic, color field abstractions where process, media, and the possibilities of genesis from turning the media inside out are the subject in itself. Garet is often concerned with cognitive reception of media bombardment, light, information, and one’s own capacity to filter and process what’s being received through vision. In this particular case Garet composed a moving image piece for Michael Waller’s Lines.

Electrochroma
Richard Garet
Electrochroma is a 58'30” audiovisual work that emerged from the manipulation of light to generate imagery as well as using a combination of extended techniques applied to sonic-material sources, including translation of image to sound to create the 5.1 surround audio composition. The work utilizes various analog and digital procedures and a variety of software processes to manipulate the moving image and sound. the work's imagery ranges from dark to light monochromatic spheres, shifting dynamics and intensity, including flickering and pulsating patterns, retinal impact, and sensory overloads. The sound composition focuses on timbre, low ends, modulated frequencies, textures, static noises, and electronic sounds moving through space. Other sonic layers were created through the use of electromagnetism, custom electronic sounds, and voices scored for the work and performed in a recording studio by artist marylea martha quintana.
