At a time when we are subjected to countless sensory stimuli and left to the relentless flow of information, Sepič invites us to stand still – whilst observing and listening to his systems.

SNR, an abbreviation for signal-to-noise ratio, refers in the natural sciences and engineering to the measurement of the ratio between useful signals and noise; at the same time, it also determines the maximum amount of data that can be reliably transmitted via a given communication channel. Sepič's SNR plays with environmental disturbances and our perception, with gradients of (un)clarity that arise in this interstitial space.

The artist thoughtfully constructs the experience across three spatial installations at the Match Gallery, using acoustics, light and kinetics. Rotophonia is a composition for (electro)acoustic elements and Rotophones, a system of rotating speaker tools that opens up possibilities for further collaboration with sound artists. For the exhibition, Sepič collaborated with sound designer and composer Sašo Puckovski, who, in dialogue with the artist and the system, created a new sound composition for visitors and the space. Rotophonia offers an alternative experience in an age of highly calculated use of technology – it creates a space where we can stand still and experience a moment of mindfulness.

Clarity, a reactive spatial installation inspired by the parable of Buddha and the muddy lake, also calls for a slowing of the pace, encouraging visitors to perceive transparent teachings and clear messages. As we continue our exploration of the rooms, we find ourselves in front of the Swarm, an installation that prompts reflection on the purpose of various contemporary technologies and how we control them. Is it possible to find a balance between the non-human agents that significantly shape our everyday lives, and their seemingly constant movement?
