CHRONOMORPH

At INTERVALS Festival 2026 in Nizhny Novgorod, PANTERRA presented CHRONOMORPH, a monumental multimedia installation measuring approximately 24 metres in length.

Created by Kira Borisova, Pavel Nedostoev and Vica Stroy, the work combines metal frameworks, suspended cables, LED screens, light and sound within a structure that resembles an unfamiliar living organism.

The engineering remains deliberately visible. Angular components extend from a skeletal framework, cables form dense networks, and illuminated elements emerge through atmospheric haze. The installation's scale changes how these materials are perceived: what might ordinarily appear as industrial equipment begins to suggest anatomy.

The work draws inspiration from Richard Brautigan's 1967 poem All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, which imagines a harmonious coexistence between humans, nature and technology.

Developed in collaboration with PERFORMA(R), CHRONOMORPH translates this proposition into a physical encounter. Visitors share an architectural space with a technological form that appears simultaneously constructed and organic.

By making its infrastructure visible, PANTERRA invites consideration of how increasingly intelligent technologies might be understood not only as tools, but as presences within our shared environments.
