Experimental Sounds Sculptures & Installations
E.S.S.I. is an exhibition to showcase sound and installation artists.

This work is a study of visible sound and vibration. It attempts to visualise how sound waves behave three-dimensionally in conjunction with how the voltage that creates the vibration looks when it is re-encoded as a video signal. When the brain receives sensory stimulation in multiple modalities it engages a dynamic neural mechanism to integrate these sensations into a whole. This processing is at the very core of how we perceive our surroundings.

Richie Cyngler is interested in instrument design, open source creative computing tools, circuitry, play, interaction and sound. He combines these elements and themes to make pieces that emerge out the interplay between the audience/user and the piece. These pieces have involved light, sound, sensors and people.

Larissa Linnell and Eliot Palmer. Twice Transmission draws attention to ideas of ephemerality and infinitesimality. Activated by vibration speakers, the rustling of the washi triggers different auditory ‘states’ that vary in both intensity and frequency. Eliot Palmer’s vibration composition is tuned to the paper arrangement and incorporates the retransmission of sound recordings of vibration in wood and paper.

I wanted to create my own surround sound system using a stainless steel resonating chamber positioned around the head like an oversized helmet. Instead of using speakers to create the three dimensional aural illusion of sonic emersion, I wanted my materials to speak of other atmospheric possibilities. My system delivers the sound to the listener acoustically and places equal emphasis on the origin of all sounds heard by the listener.

Rebecca Pohlner & Jordan Lacey Remanence explores relationships between the human body and the contemporary urban soundscape. Four speakers are embedded in an aluminum topographic rendering of the human body, which is traced by several spatialised field recordings of everyday sounds – from the drones of traffic and abrupt signals of trams and cars to the lingering sounds of coffee cups and conversations in protected laneways.

StutterSpot is a immersive and reactive light and sound installation. The installation responds to an approaching body by pulsating at a rate that fluctuates based on distance to the centre of the light. The frequency of the lamp becomes a physical experience. Stutterspot augments an otherwise regular spotlight with strange, sonic properties, subverting our understanding of the ordinary. It is an experiment in making light tangible, through sound.

A continuation of exploring the domesticity of the home and the application of fittings and fixtures as a form of art.

Michael Graeve Painting and sound framing one another to form parallel narratives and perpendicular intersections. Colours and tones proposing sequences or simultaneities. Stripes and layers gesturing towards the flow of duration and the moment of now. Relations and un-relations between elements – folding and unfolding as conjunctions and disjunctions.

They say that the digital is not continuous like the analogue; but I still see waves. Information is transferred to represent something that it is not what it represents- and that makes the work. My work is an echo of the digital, which in in itself echoes the analogue. Pixels replace particles. What forms from a line of sound? A break. What is a block of colour? Noise.
