Chronos lll, 2007
Visual by Chika Iijima ask CHiKA - Audio by Zack Layton
Concept and Video by Chika Iijima
Chronos, a reference to the Greek, is an audio-visual representation of the experience and perception of subjective time. CHiKA’s abstract flickering imagery and Zach’s low frequiency sine (Alpha) waves are used as a means of evoking rhythms that reflects a relaxed, meditative awareness. This collaborative concept was inspired from a technique called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which was developed in the 1980s by Dr. Francine Shapiro, a psychologist who discovered that alternating stimulation between the right and left hemispheres of the brain through repetitive horizontal eye movements; tapping of the hands and/or oscillating sound effects somehow pulls memories from the subconscious into consciousness.

INFINITY 03, 2007
Visual by Chika Iijima ask CHiKA - Audio by France Jobin aka I8U
Concept and Video by Chika Iijima
Unlimited or unmeasurable in extent of space, duration of time: the infinite nature of the fabric of space. CHiKA uses minimal objects in two-dimensional space to create a video work invoking the?feeling of the unlimited possibilities, approaching the unmeasureable nature of the infinite. I8U’s soundscapes inspired by the concept of string theory mirror our limited understanding and imagination of these strings as they slip in and out of the dimensions we are aware of. The audio and visual moves from a closed world with perspective as its corresponding symbolic form.

The Edge of Silence, 2008
Visual by Chika Iijima aka CHiKA
Audio by Haeyoung Kim aka Bubblyfish
As a sound artist and composer, Haeyoung Kim aka Bubblyfish has been experimenting with “lo-fi”, 8-bit technologies on gameboys composing minimal compositions. CHiKA’s simple graphics are creating powerful visual elements, which meet Bubblyfish’s deep dramatic 8-bit sounds, and together they connect the audience, inspire people to dance and take them to trance.
