The third and final project from this winter season in the desert : Messages From Space, which was part of the this year! This work is a sound and light reactive installation featuring custom hardware that detects gamma ray activity and creates a responsive ambient experience through speculative futures storytellingn and ambient sonic fields.
It was such a joy to install this work at Neptune, expanding the solar system lore into the town of Bombay Beach and having friends and strangers experience it, against this magical landscape. Given the modular nature of the pieces, each iteration of this work is unique and flexible, constantly evolving and growing.
