Hidden Spaces

Hidden Spaces is an interactive light and sound installation. Lasers create planes that form flat spatial fields. Through the use of video tracking and computerized sound, the planes are 'audio-visualized': people explore, with their own movements, the spaces hidden within the planes of light by triggering sounds heard as they intersect these planes.

Sensoria:: During the month of November, SOIL Gallery presented two new projects: Hidden Spaces by artist/architect Iole Alessandrini, programmer / composer Ben McAllister and engineer Ed Mannery; and Free Dissociation by Thom Heileson and Wyndel Hunt. The works integrated light and sound to transform the gallery space, concentrating on the visitor’s sensory perceptions within the specific physicality of a new environment. Each work in its own way conflated and linked different sensory experiences: vision, hearing, and feedback to physical movement.

Hidden Spaces is funded by a grant from the Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs, City of Seattle.
