Through multiple crackling structures The River spreads audiovisual resources to create atmospheres that combine narrative and aesthetic concepts beyond one photography, Versus, captured with 82 years old camera-box which portrays the social landscape that is devoid of any romanticism. The work investigates and examines the human like the unforeseeable active presence between the nature and technology, analogue and digital, static and dynamic. It explores and reveals a research for the essence of seeing and hearing, for ontology of the audiovisual landscape.

Davor Sanvincenti a.k.a. Messmatik (b.1979) is a Croatian multimedia artist. Over the last years he has been specifically interested in a field of audiovisual research and anthropology of visual culture, particularly oriented on the conditions and forms of human senses and perceptions, developing experimental videos and immersive installations which are at the intersection of video and performing arts. He explores aesthetical and qualitative capabilities of different media as direct communication with the spectator which becomes an inevitable part of the work, a reflecting contemplative-physical structure. He is recipient of several art awards, including the Radoslav Putar Award 2010 for the best Croatian artist under 35. His physical video installation "1001" is part of the AV collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb.
