Jez Wells/Annabeth Robinson
Traces of Sound and Light (installation, delegates can drop in as desired)
Traces of Sound and Light is a site-specific fixed-media installation created by visual artist Annabeth Robinson and audio designer Jez Wells. Based on data obtained from light detecting and ranging (LIDAR) and acoustic impulse response measurement (AIR) it uses technological augmentation of the both the observer and the space to literally enable the audience to see and hear the environment which they are within in new ways that would otherwise be impossible.
Bring your smartphone to enjoy a VR tour of the space (Google Cardboard VR viewers will be provided).
Interval - the church will be closed to allow for the movement of speakers and seating. Attendees will be directed to waiting areas.
