The work on the sound design for the video installation TOTAL STATION, started when Rob Rainbow, one of the artists involved in the project, gave me Mieko Shimizu's sound files to listen to.
se samples were composed of synthesis, sound situations recorded in train stations, urban atmospheric moments processed into harmonic voices.
Using sensors at the bottom of the four screens, I decided that the presence of the visitor in front of the screen would trigger the different types of sounds. With the idea in mind to keep a certain poetry in the landscape, adding a random sound narrative to the visuals and bringing out alterations to the urban continuity.
"A proximity detecting installation where Rivington Place becomes an optical instrument through which the wider city can be seen".
