Vastness: Memory of Color is a collaboration initiated by Anne Beffel. Beginning with her photographs of Lake Superior, Sound Designers Aidan Conrade, Jayden Palarz, and Tom Stiles interpreted the images using audio. Angie Gecosky assisted with video editing and coordinated production. Our goal was to create a meditative experience (loosely defined) for viewer- participants.
The photographs are based on Beffel’s observations of the relationship between vision and our daily lives. How we see influences us just as much as what we see. Visual perception is a fluid process of translating color and shape into images. These images enable us to inhabit our different subject positions, and recognize our varied histories and perspectives, as we come closer to a shared experience.
