This piece began with a substantial amount of research into the sonic, poetic and material culture of Ottoman era coffee shops and Silk Road caravan- serais. The installation conjures a fictive location where aesthetics and ideologies are exchanged freely, establishing an alternative to the historical narrative of colonization, crisis, and territoriality typically associated with the region’s portrayal in American media. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1624811409556-OGU4Y1QDGO9JBZF4K45W/speakers-cushions.jpg Which Yesterday is Tomorrow? - “The same modularity marked Demirjian’s immersive sonic and textual landscape. His spellbinding audios, which improvised on old wind and string instruments, enveloped the gallery through four portable speakers.” Sarah Tanguy, Sculpture Magazine The soundtrack is also intended to evoke an alternative to the linear experience of the temporal in favor of cyclical or slower conceptions of time. All of the sounds start with pure tones from Anatolian folk instruments like the saz, ney, kemençe and were slowed down to extreme lengths using a customized granular synthesis program. This approach creates a sonic environment that feels as if you are resonating along with a saz string or moving at an impossibly slow speed of a ney vibrato. These sounds were then moved around the space, articulating different architectural features of the environment creating a feeling of entering into an alternative experience of time. The installation also questions the design forms for sonic delivery, instead of brown rectangular book-case speakers, each of the four speakers in the installation are a sculptural, ritual object fab- ricated by the artists that could be moved by the visitor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1624812322391-BG1YRY0PL4KH9GXV2JDR/alpha_wave_states_wyit_sm.jpg Which Yesterday is Tomorrow? https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/work daily 1.0 2023-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/46a9a261-cccc-42c1-ac46-747c49c1835a/IMG_7217.jpg Work Subtle Centers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/982ac7d4-de84-4b0e-9b2b-00041366d97a/28__OF06586-Edit.jpg Work One Who Looks at the Cup https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/15110ff0-bbaf-471e-bc1e-341cc0febe0e/SK3K-interior.jpg Work A multi-sensory ritual site to quench intellectual and physical thirst, SK3000 reinterprets the iconic Islamic architectural form of a sabil kuttab as a gift structure from our ancestors for an indeterminate future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/c6492ed3-c897-4de1-8a07-4855121d7b6d/1IMG_1220-mask.jpg Work The Center for No Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/f15b9342-9223-4fc2-94e5-9ca918e2a14f/establishing-shot-sm.jpg Work Souvenirs From the Future https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/6770f83e-fe04-4133-8a68-6b399f219e09/sensory-surface-fin.jpg Work The Artist's Way (2022) collaborative project with James Proctor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/7e49e72b-ae64-4c3e-bf57-b5b9a351689b/we-have-earthquakes300-1280.jpg Work We Send Our Signal (2021) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/54488873-bd16-4a99-ab69-a0f3dfb0513b/shed_thumb.jpg Work Recalibrating (2021) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/694ac082-1968-46b3-a8c7-db9f992ddce9/1_wyit_installation_view.jpg Work Which Yesterday is Tomorrow?

The sustained actions of BOS members had a significant impact on the process of making Rutgers University Newark one of the most diverse campuses in the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625065388484-HFDQ5XMUKI7FTP056VPF/norman_samuels_plaza.001.jpeg Echoes of Liberation The audio plays automatically based on your location in Norman Samuels Plaza. There are four sections of audio that are thematically grouped and placed in different sites in the plaza. The pathway between Hill Hall and Paul Robeson Campus Center from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. into the plaza is the ‘infinitive verb alley’ consisting of the infinitive verbs that were used by BOS members to describe their actions and process. On the plaza side of Paul Robeson Campus Center (the name change of which was instigated by BOS members) is the ‘audio walk of fame’ section where BOS members recite the names of the members who took part in the liberation of Conklin Hall. The northeast section of Paul Robeson Campus Center with overhanging roof and outdoor seating is the ‘cantilever questions’ section. In this area, questions that BOS members asked themselves and each other are heard. Finally, in the fourth section of the plaza, ‘foundations and forking paths’, the listener hears BOS members discuss the books, authors, activists and philosophers who had an impact on their thinking. The interview excerpts were played into the architecture of the campus with radios and re-recorded so the listener hears the voices of BOS members echoing off the walls where they are standing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625066304013-0ESSDEB4RTPECAABH822/meeting.jpg Echoes of Liberation https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/panterrestrial-peoples-anthem daily 0.75 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625230683044-9C3ZD732E6Y7L8MNFLKA/sound_poem.png Pan-terrestrial People's Anthem The poetry in the book is created with multiple constraint systems, sets of aesthetic rules applied in an artistic context, to generate the artwork. For instance, some poems are built from querying search terms in the database of over 4,600 lines of anthem lyrics on topics like ‘navigation’, ‘time’, ‘sound’ and combining lyrics from different songs by topic. In other instances, the entire database of words is broken up by word length (one character words, two-character words, three-character words, etc.) and reorganized as snowball poems that grow from one to ten letter word phrases creating lyrics for a new hybrid anthem not centered on any one country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625233418159-DO7LTQREUC1DYRPXM4FU/0109MFox2018-Edit.jpg Pan-terrestrial People's Anthem https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/i-tremble-with-anticipation daily 0.75 2021-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625238215634-JYFF9GEIRIU0JDZBL4QX/i_tremble.jpg I Tremble with Anticipation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625238829488-XEVLVCM1ZJ5RKU9C3BZ4/Screen+Shot+2021-07-02+at+11.13.20+AM.jpg I Tremble with Anticipation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625239005987-OYNK5A61JV0ZIJIWHES4/Moving+Image+I+Tremble.jpg I Tremble with Anticipation I Tremble with Anticipation has been screened at the Athens International Film and Video Fest, The Museum of the Moving Image, LOOP Festival of Video Art and many other exhibitions and festivals. https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/color-yourself-inspired daily 0.75 2021-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625235818552-SG215NH8SHAP1O7THFGF/_startling+orange+carrot+stick.jpg Color Yourself Inspired™ - “While it may be easy to get lost in the pleasant, occasionally discordant colors and sounds, the cheeky trademark symbol in the piece’s title reminds the viewer that each cute color name was produced by a slew of marketing experts at a large company. Though the random color/ sound/name combinations seem whimsical and organic, they still retain a level of artificiality and marketability. Not even colors are safe from capitalism.” Sarah Boudreau and Annie Raab, Editor’s Note for The New River spring 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625236054926-BY5802CPZ47M3KWUWXF9/passionPlumGrapeGum2.jpg Color Yourself Inspired™ The custom designed computer program maps the hue, saturation and brightness of the selected colors to specific areas on the 2-D screen. The hue is mapped to the horizontal axis like a color wheel unspooled across the screen, the reds are on the left blues and greens in the central part of the screen and rose colors towards the right. The color’s saturation is mapped to the vertical axis with more saturated colors positioned lower on the screen and the lightness of the color controls the size of the radius of the circle, the brighter the color the wider the radius. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625236784054-APWJFMIJR933S7UZOUGV/emerald-isle.jpg Color Yourself Inspired™ - The musical notes map a twelve-tone chromatic scale to the hues of a 360o color wheel. The brightness of the color shifts the pitch over 5 octaves, while the saturation controls the duration of the note. By focusing on the language we use to describe visual sensation, Color Yourself Inspired™ (a marketing slogan from the Benjamin Moore website) explores the interplay between perception, psychology, economics, culture, chance and language. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625237425623-B9J78MIYVZ4LX97GPJ9E/20161125_135200.jpg Color Yourself Inspired™ https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/50-year-accumulation-2-day-sale daily 0.75 2021-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625249848700-A13SRULVNCSZAGNWV82D/Screen+Shot+2019-03-17+at+8.09.33+AM.jpg 50 year accumulation 2 day sale still from 50 year accumulation 2 day sale https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1625249986549-6JSRK3F2Q5NG30TZWJ0P/50-year.jpg 50 year accumulation 2 day sale The screen shot above is an example of the vernacular photography and fragmented text of online estate sales.

We will engage with the technical, theoretical and aesthetic concepts that inform the production, post-production and exhibition of producing these immersive works. Using both hardware and software methods for synchronizing sources, we will experiment with different vertical and horizontal configurations of multiple monitors and projectors to display student work. Projection mapping and sculptural techniques that investigate methods for breaking the rectangular frame will also be explored. In addition to multiple channels of video, we will also work with multiple channels of audio to create immersive environments. Students will gain hands-on experience working with a quadraphonic sound system and sub-woofer along with other speaker configurations. Through a series of short readings, we will survey diverse perspectives, contexts and topics in this mode of production. We will also screen, critically analyze and discuss a wide array of practices from artists working in this medium. The course will be taught as a hybrid, with some classes via Zoom for discussing texts and learning post-production techniques and others in-person to set up monitors, projectors and speakers to test our work. Documenting the pieces created in class will be part of our working method, ensuring students are able to easily show the outcomes of their work for crits, grant proposals and future exhibitions.

multi-channel video installation artworks that are in conversation with the rich and diverse histories of this practice. We will engage with the technical, theoretical and aesthetic concepts that inform the production, post-production and exhibition of producing these immersive works. Using both hardware and software methods for synchronizing sources, we will experiment with different vertical and horizontal configurations of multiple monitors and projectors to display student work. Projection mapping and sculptural techniques that investigate methods for breaking the rectangular frame will also be explored. In addition to multiple channels of video, we will also work with multiple channels of audio to create immersive environments. Students will gain hands-on experience working with a quadraphonic sound system and sub-woofer along with other speaker configurations. Through a series of short readings, we will survey diverse perspectives, contexts and topics in this mode of production. We will also screen, critically analyze and discuss a wide array of practices from artists working in this medium. The course will be taught as a hybrid, with some classes via Zoom for discussing texts and learning post-production techniques and others in-person to set up monitors, projectors and speakers to test our work. Documenting the pieces created in class will be part of our working method, ensuring students are able to easily show the outcomes of their work for crits, grant proposals and future exhibitions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1629815705025-BUCVKUEE2QZ7STK6BQLY/tony_oursler_phantasmagoria.jpg mcvi-sp24 - Required Readings: Due dates listed in the course schedule “Video Installation: The Body, The image and the Space in Between”, Margaret Morse “The Editor”, Stefano Basilico “A History of Presence”, Brooke Belisle “Beyond the Cinematic Screen: Installations and the Internet”, The Essay Film After Fact and Fiction ( part 2 of Beyond the Cinematic Screen ) “Certain Obliqueness”, Renée Green “From Ten Thousand Waves to Lina Bo Bardi via Kapital”, Isaac Julien Suggested Readings: Eye and Mind, Maurice Merleau-Ponty “Off the Wall: Video Sculpture and Installation”, from A History of Video Art by Christopher Meigh-Andrews Expanded Cinema, Gene Youngblood Critical Response Process, Liz Lerman “Sites of Screening: Cinema, Museum, and the Art of Projection”, from Surface by Guiliana Bruno Virtual Art from Illusion to Immersion, Oliver Grau Musical Thinking: New Video Art and Sonic Strategies, Saisha Grayson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1629815763705-WTOLWJGRR24AN3YRZ39D/Beryl+Korot.jpg mcvi-sp24 Beryl Korot, Dachau https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1630075975524-OE014W8QNWX9MDTTZM79/senga+negundi3.jpg mcvi-sp24 Senga Nengudi, Warp Trance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1631971044867-Q7ZVI1J7P3XPTPNZMY0A/Screen+Shot+2021-09-18+at+9.17.09+AM.jpg mcvi-sp24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/8ebbac01-b4ba-482a-adcc-dcd4288ad59b/Calendar-Renee-Greenbegin+again.jpg mcvi-sp24 https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/sk3000 daily 0.75 2025-12-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/90abc0bd-7319-4fcf-ad80-88e970c3889c/SK3000-demirjian.jpg SK3000 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/1a34cb63-c1d7-4129-bd03-e72967f247cb/demirjian-sound-art.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/a9553160-aec6-43f6-a9e6-641f486dd768/immersive-installation-demirjian.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/571db1af-c0b3-4b9f-ab72-66bd749249a6/demirjian-interactive-art.jpg https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/spaces daily 0.75 2024-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/47b03d3d-e3f1-47bd-832a-c2133fade7f8/puerto-rico-student-protests-img-557187675.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/e4a04d6b-0217-409f-8502-9d56423d8952/puerto-rico-protest-full-169-256814598.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/7384b665-132a-46fc-a30c-a0ce9dfd7349/despedido-Aliana-2791479437.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/160e726c-7979-49ec-bf3f-413c63ea2358/women+of+the+young+lords+ny+times.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/57568479-986b-4b65-8cf2-0383a43831b3/becentennial2.jpg https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/one daily 0.75 2025-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/982826df-9e07-49d7-aefc-1d167aa0ee3b/34__OF06632_S.jpg One-cup - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/238d8719-4175-4119-955d-ae35f70f5522/IMG_6048.PNG https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/subtle daily 0.75 2025-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/debb8359-0f1f-41de-aedd-e1744c071578/Ritual_44.jpg Subtle-Centers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/ece526c1-ddab-40ee-b5de-6ff2411b299c/Ritual_62.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/379a3ad9-26a9-4a62-a748-87618c50b01b/IMG_7369.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d86a087168967b5f2e41fe/5b2c73d6-9619-4b17-acb8-547a46a4c701/Ritual_59.jpg https://www.andrewdemirjian.com/articles daily 0.75 2025-11-08
