INSTALLATION

AUDIOVISUAL

IMMERSIVE

Roles: Video Mapping, Creative Producer, Conceptual Artist

Home is an concept hard to describe with words. It can be a space, a feeling, a memory or even an object. But certainly it is very specific to each one of us. This audiovisual immmersive experience is an installation that seeks to explore the concept of home through fragmentation. Can we describe or even understand what home is?

Visitors are invited to walk into a space where fabric curtains are scattered around in a large space, projection mapping filling the space with lights emanating from sliced videos and images collectively curated and carefully edited to a cohesive unit. Spacial audio composed specifically to the piece echoes around the space with a voice over in low volume speaks from the middle of the room reciting poems created in collaboration with a machine learning model trained with poems around the concept of home. 

This art installation was crafted collectively by Micaelle Lages, Elyana Javaheri, Anna Nikaki, Orpheas Kofinakos and Vinita Gatne.
