Projection Prototype (main space)
David Clark
So the installation that is in the main church hall, which is a rather large and majestic space, it’s sort of bathed in blue light.
Amanda Shore
Up on the main stage, there are four thin mesh projection screens, one behind the other. And at the very back of the stage is a projector that shining towards the audience. As the projector hits each screen, it moves through them and the projected image gets bigger and bigger, and it also gets slightly blurrier as it comes towards the final screen that’s in front of you. On the screen is a looped black and white animation that is very high contrast, and it has geometric forms that sort of shift into one another.

The projections show the track of Hurricane Fiona,
Jim Abraham
The radar rotation, the scope of the radar scope, pressure data,
Shen Molloy
With its barometric pressure, and its sonar and satellite imagery,
Or Denemark
With a low hum of machinery. That sounds a little bit repetitive, kind of like a radar.
Séamus Gallagher
As you sort of looked through the multiple screens created a sort of tunnel vision.
David Clark
The distinctive feature is that as you move around it, it seems to kind of recede back into space, that kind of infinite mirror kind of an effect.
Sound Art Prototype (second room)
Or Denemark
You walk into a fairly large room,
Kelly Schnare
There are four speakers in each of the corners and there’s beautiful lights coming from the floor all the way up to the ceiling, blue and green lights.
Or Denemark
Once you step into the room, you hear just a low hum of aquatic sounds.
Shen Molloy
You hear the sound of a waterfall, you can hear the sounds of whale calls.
David Clark
And it’s sort of a combination of both a kind of a musical sound and a sort of atmospheric sound.
Shen Molloy
There’s a spotlight in the center of the room. And if you stand in it, then you hear the music in the room change.
Or Denemark
Your movement triggers a sound of synthesizer that kind of comes through that initial aquatic sounds.
