BIO Dmitry Gelfand and Evelina Domnitch create sensory immersion environments that merge physics, chemistry and computer science with uncanny philosophical practices. Having dismissed the use of recording and fixative media, their installations exist as ever-transforming phenomena offered for observation.

The circular arrangement of Disc.o creates a visual representation of the Loop, which is the base of contemporary repetitive music. The interplay of traveling light with the corresponding acoustical response creates a spatial experience of the installation.
