AUROCULIS: LOUISE HARRIS
AUROCULIS
Louise Harris
Friday 5 – Thursday 18 May 2017
These three pieces, for Expanded Audiovisual Format (EAF), investigate relationships between sonic form, through time, and visual form, through space. Presenting these works in dual screen, quad speaker format facilitates a democratization of the visual and sonic space, and allows the audience to engage with the works as both audiovisual and spatial entities.
“Louise Harris’ Auroculis is a collection of video works that serve as translations of digital audio compositions. Harris’ visual-aural explorations into synaesthetic experience made possible through digital technologies hint at a mimicry of the generative process of looking. The result of her investigations are works that rely on projection, location and duration for full contextual consideration; a mere glimpse at the potentiality of immersive visual music through expanded cinema installation.” DB Amorin, Deepwhitesound
