Our latest collaboration with
Jane Grant,
John Matthias and
Nick Ryan the creators of
The Fragmented Orchestra, is a site specfic installation 'Plasticity' at the
BFI for
onedotzero.
The installation consisted of an array of microphones distributed across the entrance of the space and a network of speakers, arranged across the walls. The network comes alive in direct response to visitor input into the microphones and is in effect stimulated by the sounds within the environment.
Each speaker represents a neuron in the human brain, and the sounds you input are stimulating the connections between them. As sounds are scattered across the array of speakers, emergent patterns reveal the complex firing patterns of the neurones and the plasticity of the network.
Plasticity develops over the course of time, previously unheard patterns and connections emerge as the installation evolves, creating a unique sonic and visual experience. The installation was exhibited as a part of
onedotzero's Festival in Motion, at the
BFI Southbank.
