Syntrop is an immersive audio-visual installation dealing with particular notions from the world of physics. These are derived from the phenomenons of order and chaos or rather syntropy and entropy. Adlešič speculatively interprets the robustness of industrial processing of natural resources and the phenomena of syntropy - the tendency of chaos to form a kind of order by implementing different usages of electronic audio-visual tools and exploring their performative potentials. By addressing the different viscosities of relations among geological phenomena and their contemporary exploitation in the Anthropocene, he engages contemplation about the nature's date of expiration, the temporary nature of all organic and inorganic systems and the geophysical, geopolitical and cultural crises.
At the confluence of media art and design, Adlešič establishes a syntropic audio-visual enviroment which engages the viewer at the sensory level in order to encourage contemplating the complexity of relations and the ontological shadows occupying the contemporary era.
