Alba Prat – UdK (Univeristät der Kunste), Germany

Syn chron derives from synchronization, a common feature of the works of the German artist Carsten Nicolai. My collection is inspired by them. Known for his aesthetics of precision, his work lies at the intersection of art and science. He unites both fields together in form of sculpture, light and sound installations creating a minimal, cold and technical atmosphere.

My approach to Carsten Nicolai is through his visualizations of sound phenomena. I have recorded my heartbeat in two different situations and used special software to visualize it in abstract forms, which are the basis of my prints. These define the two moods of my collection.
