Nogues for the Materials and
Applications (M&A) Research Centre in
LA have designed an installation
incorporating multimedia components,
including lighting and sound, at the
M&A outdoor gallery.
The eye-catching vortex structure
gives shade and structure to the space
below, enabling 'enhanced social
interaction and contemplation by
changing the space, color, and sound
of the M&A courtyard gallery'.
The movement of the sun affects the
lighting changes in the space below,
shining through the tinted Mylar to
project fractal light patterns on the
ground.
The ambient sound part of the
installation is not only heard, but felt as
it is played through the ground to
rumble at the visitors' feet. This
audio-haptic effect was created by
composer James Lumb and is entitled
"Resonant Amplified Vortex Emitter".
James Lumb is a composer and
technology developer who creates
multi-media installations and also goes
by the name of 'Electric Skychurch'
