This paper explores the conceptual framework and technical implementation of the "New Azeri Sekis" video installation, an avant-garde digital media project focused on contemporary Azerbaijani identity.
The "New Azeri Sekis" (meaning "New Azeri Voice" or "Sound") video installation serves as a multi-sensory exploration of Azerbaijan's evolving cultural landscape. By blending traditional Mugham aesthetics with glitch-art visuals and spatial audio, the installation challenges the viewer to navigate the tension between historical heritage and the digital future. This paper details the artistic intent, the hardware-software stack used for the installation, and its reception in the modern art circuit. 1. Introduction: The Concept of "Sekis"
The core of the installation revolves around the Azerbaijani word səs (often colloquially or phonetically referenced as sekis in specific dialectical or stylized contexts within this project), representing "voice," "sound," or "echo." The "New Azeri" movement seeks to redefine national identity beyond the post-Soviet lens, utilizing video as a medium to project a fragmented yet resilient cultural narrative. 2. Narrative Structure and Visual Aesthetic
The installation utilizes a non-linear loop consisting of three primary visual layers: new azeri sekis video install
The Ancestral Layer: High-contrast, slowed-down footage of Baku’s Old City (Icherisheher) and rural landscapes.
The Industrial Layer: Distorted, neon-drenched overlays representing the rapid modernization of the Absheron Peninsula.
The Human Layer: Close-up portraits of Azerbaijani youth, where facial features are intermittently replaced by digital noise, symbolizing the fluidity of identity in the internet age. 3. Technical Implementation
To achieve the immersive effect, the installation utilizes a specific hardware and software configuration:
Projection Mapping: Three 10,000-lumen laser projectors synchronized via a central media server to create a 270-degree field of view.
Generative Software: The visual "glitch" elements are rendered in real-time using TouchDesigner, reacting to the ambient noise levels in the gallery space.
Spatial Audio: An 8-channel surround sound system plays a deconstructed score of Tar and Kamancha, processed through granular synthesis. 4. Audience Interaction and Immersion
Unlike static video pieces, this installation requires the viewer to move. Sensors detect the proximity of participants, triggering changes in the video’s playback speed. When a viewer stands still, the image stabilizes; when they move quickly, the "Sekis" (voice) becomes distorted, reflecting the difficulty of maintaining cultural clarity in a fast-paced globalized world. 5. Conclusion
"New Azeri Sekis" is more than a technical display; it is a digital monument. By merging the ancient sounds of the Caucasus with contemporary video installation techniques, the project successfully creates a space where the past and future of Azerbaijan are not in conflict, but in constant, vibrant dialogue. “‘New Azeri Sekis’ invites audiences to step into
