"... In 'Opening Coccyx", pressure waves unleashed in a liquid solution trigger a continuum of waveform patterns, which, in turn, incite chemical reactions of varying intensities, resulting in respectively varying light patterns. Domnitch and Gelfand create interdisciplinary art works, which integrate chemi-physical experimentation with optics and computer science."
"... The idea of the installation is connected to the Buddhist concept of enlightenment as a final blessed state, and is based upon scientific data that only after birth baby's nine sacral and tailbones are fused into two, enabling the trunk of the body to stand upright. Until this process is completed it is not possible to reach an illuminated mode. For the exhibition, Domnitch and Gelfand invited Richard Chartier to create a low- and nature composition intended to stimulate the notion of sound transmitted through light."
