Chromophobia, is a project that investigates audiovisual entrainment, conceived for a three-day residency at Project DIVFUSE. An interplay of colour biases provoking a spectrum of emotional states through the sequencing of certain colour combinations, is designed to open a dialectic about associations, personal experiences, or psychological triggers that these colours and their synchronised tones induce. Building upon the artist’s previous research in analogue light-based composition, McInerney explores this field in a purely digital process as an installation and series of live performances. The performer’s presence is intentionally concealled behind a curtain, while observing and reacting to the audience’s psychovisual response in real-time to the triptych audiovisual expanse.
