ABOUT FORNAX VOID

ABSTRACT
Fornax Void - music and art for the Cyberspace and Beyond.

Fornax Void is an audiovisual arts project founded by David Elsener (* 1984) in 2012. David's educational background lies in Visual Communication and Computer Technology.

Before other topics, the project's main source of inspiration is the technology and design language of the late 20th century.

As a child of the early World Wide Web and 90s internet culture, Fornax Void seeks to transport the essence of the golden years of cyberspace into a contemporary context.

Thereby Fornax Void's work makes extensive use of the combination of old and new technologies: vintage digital and analog synthesizers, old computer hard- and software, magnetic tape, CRT screens, analog film and low resolution computer graphics integrated into a modern high resolution workflow.

While his ambient music explorations are at the core of Fornax Void's work, the project is ultimatively about world building, story telling and memory preservation of an internalized creative universe that was 1990s computer culture. A concept terminologically summarized in the denomination SemiconductorWave.
