LATENT SPACE
In Latent Space, fine lines weave virtual spaces around the viewers. The architecture that appears is highly fragile — the space grows, shrinks, collapses. The acoustic dimension is also deeply spatial — slowly morphing soundscapes float around the dome, enveloping the observers in sound and image.
The omnipresence of the virtual realm is transposed into the physical space of the dome to unmask the oft-cited boundlessness of digital space. The work tests and investigates the spatial effects of the dome, and serves as a metaphor for the virtual net that always surrounds us.
