IN CASE I DON’T SEE YOU

the sonified stair

immersive projection

An exhibition exploring immersive projection and sound as methods of spatial representation and experience.

What is the relationship between physical space and its representation in the form of a 3D model, a view, or a sound?

Four models take literally the visual distortion afforded by adjusting the lens length of a virtual camera in a digital model, skewing a switchback stair at uncomfortable angles. Each model is sonified, its geometry driving the pitch and amplitude of a collection of sine waves. These sonifications accompany videos showing the perspective from inside the digital model, an experience visitors to the exhibition could immersively experience via a large projection screen.

Collaboration with Sofia Balters Lapostól and Carly Dickson, with special thanks to LeeAnn Suen.

Exhibited at the Kirkland Gallery, March 2017
