Vergence
Tina Frank, Florian Hecker AT, 2010, 7', HD video
Vergence, a term from the field of optics, refers to the convergence or divergence of light rays. It also designates slow involuntary movements made by the eyes to center an image on the retina. Convergence and divergence determine the stability and definition with which an object is perceived. Such dictionary definitions provide the point of departure for the rhythmic optical game of deception that Tina Frank and Florian Hecker initiate in their collaborative work entitled Vergence. (…) A finely constructed techno-psychedelic granular stream sweeps over the senses in Vergence, in an endless variety of modulations, concentrations and refractions. Hallucinogenic and evocative of images until the colors come and the rhythms, seemingly endless, reverberate in the viewer’s mind. (Christian Höller; Translation: Steve Wilder)
