Spacetime (continuum) - 2018 Wallace Art Awards

Abstract or Summary

Spacetime (continuum) Finalist in the 2018 Wallace Art Awards. This is the largest annual art award in NZ. The annual Wallace Art Awards profile outstanding examples of contemporary New Zealand art. Spacetime (continuum) a personal infinity space for contemplation Chamber, mirrors, light and sound This space lets you leave your body in the physical world, and transport your head somewhere else. Through the creation of an infinity space, one can look forward and backwards into an endless space - perhaps a vision for the future and the past simultaneously. When paired with lights and sound the effect of synchresis is explored - a situation where one makes connections between the things we see and the things we hear - even if those things aren’t specifically linked. This space utilises rhythms and gestures as both ways of structuring sound and light, so that one can become lost or possibly overwhelmed by the experience in the space.
