After a one-month residency at MoTA, Gabey Tjon A Tham presented prototypes of her new installation SYNC, prepared in co-production with the TodaysArt festival of The Hague.
The starting point of her research is how complex systems are organized, with a particular interest in swarm behavior and how it manifests itself in space and time.

This interview was recorded at MoTA and is about her work in general and what she tried to accomplish during her residency.

"What fascinated me in the medium of installations and sound is how they completely change our perception of space and time."

In this talk, Gabey Tjon A Tham explains how her work developed from explorations of two dimensional surfaces to site specific installations and sound, leading to her recent sound and light pieces, among which is also the work she showed at the Sonica festival exhibition – Repetition at my distance )))))). She speaks about this work, which is also her graduation work, as the most recent phase of her explorations of sound, light, movement and site specificity. She places it in the context of Kabakov’s notion of the total installation, from the elements of which she builds a genealogy of her own installation works.
This talk was recorded at the ArtistTalk – Third Culture symposium at Sonica Festival in November 2012. In the symposium, we questioned the notion of a Third Culture based on what it claimed to be a gradual but accelerating fusion of the “two cultures” of the humanities and science.
