Being Close is a complex mixed media installation by the Brussels based TRIPOT collective. Artists Marius Packbier and Aïlien Reyns form TRIPOT and examine phenomenon and connections of technology in its digital reception in their artistic practice.

For their site-specific installation Being Close at the NAK a digital and physical representation of nature will be realized via a multi-sensory experience of perception. The sensual experience emerging from this is immersive and self-refelexive at the same time.

The simultaneous production and  reproduction of the image create artifacts, which superimpose the pristine visual content gradually. The image devices generate miscellaneous image textures, interweaving in a singular presentation. Individual picture elements (light, shadows, color, directions) coexist simultaneously but asynchronous. The resulting visual tension intensifies the attraction and therefore the immersion of the spectator. Coincidental the video image reveals its own process of genesis.
