[spectre] shibuya/ikegami: filmachine, berlin opening today, 28 jan, 19h

[Andreas Broeckmann]

Keiichiro Shibuya und Takashi Ikegami

filmachine

(sound installation)


filmachine places the visitor inside a vortex of sound and light that 
transcends the traditional perspective of the cinematic experience.

Three circles of loudspeakers are suspended from the ceiling above an 
abstract landscape. On entering the space, the visitor starts the 
composition with a button at the center of the piece, triggering an 
immersive audio-visual experience in a 3-dimensional soundscape, 
enhanced by a specially designed LED lighting system. For the 
exhibition in Berlin, Keiichiro Shibuya creates a new composition 
which is presented here as a world premiere. It is based on research 
of complex systems and makes use of cellular automata and logistic 
maps for sound synthesis.

The accompanying CD 'filmachine phonics' emulates the spatial experience of the
installation within the limited acoustic space of stereo headphones.
