Muted Wavescape presents a moving landscape of silent and visible sound-waves held within a vintage radio. The artwork's various layers of reflection offer an intriguing optical puzzle and an invitation to explore multi-dimensional compositions. 

The time dimension is also included in the rhythmic sense of the animated composition, as well as in the evocation of traveling back to a time when the voice of the radio was at the centre of the living room. The spectral presence of a skull summons the passage of the ephemeral, as a phantasmagoric apparition from the past. 

On one hand, the piece is a tribute to the obsolete technology it uses; on the other, it draws attention to the contrast between old and new media.

Multilayer reflected display in vintage (1950's) TV

InfiniTV unfolds within a rare, vintage (1950s) TV set. It offers an unusual exploration into multi-dimensional compositions with various layers of refraction, diffraction and reflection which suggest an infinite depth. The time dimension is also included through the rhythmic sense of the animated composition, together with the evocation of traveling back in time.

On one hand, the piece is a tribute to the obsolete technology it uses; on the other, it draws attention to the contrast between old and new media: a contemporary LCD screen is contained within an older version of a similar technology (1950's, valve TV set).

Unlike some other recent artworks by Nourathar, in InfiniTV  the magic trick – the light source - is not hidden; it becomes instead a central part of the composition through the continuity in space of the light it emits.
