Tenderpixel is pleased to present ‘Scapes’, a new installation by media arts collaborative Squidsoup. Created by Anthony Rowe, Gareth Bushell, Chris Bennewith, Liam Birtles and Alexander Rishaug, ‘Scapes’ conjures into being three-dimensional cities, landscapes and abstract architectures purely from sound, software and light. Chimaera-like visions of ephemeral spaces are created and destroyed in real-time. They occupy physical space, but only fleetingly. They leave nothing behind when they, and the sounds that spawned them, vanish. ‘Scapes’ is a new project part commissioned by Tenderpixel. Tuned software and specifically designed sounds are used to generate a series of abstract landscapes visualised on a bespoke room-sized 3-D grid of lights controlled in real-time. As the sounds are played through speakers and picked up with microphones, the visual process can be interacted with – intercepted, corrupted and altered by visitors making their own sounds to interfere with the original audiovisual designs.
