Thanassis Deligiannis (1983)
Communicational Entropy (2005)
Elisa Franco, pianoforte
Out of the blue, information appears like Morse signals and starts crossing from several directions an imaginary valley until this “communicational-jam” is interrupted by a kind of truce, during which, everything is moving slowly like in water. And then; something happens that marks a new era in which information starts flowing again. Following this structure the work deals with the phenomenon of information in space; how space is filled of information and how it gets empty.
