Kurt Hentschläger's galactic premiere of the audiovisual performance Eko will be performed in the splendid void of total darkness. Erasing the audience’s perceptual boundaries, this absolute absence of light is interrupted for only fractions of seconds with bursts of micro-animated geometric forms emanating from an LED wall display. Returning again to darkness, abundant retinal afterimage impressions unravel within each viewer’s eyes, slowly fading and fusing with the surrounding darkness until the eventual next eruption of light. Attuned to the fragile nature of these ghostly retinal afterimages, the piece’s ambient electronic soundscape gently diffuses through the space with occasional infra bass density.
