“Paradise” at Venice International Performance Art Week

At the VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK, Doug Quin and Lorne Covington present Paradise (2016), a 16.1-channel sound installation and interactive experience where visitors essentially compose a collage of virtual acoustic spaces drawn from the “natural” world. Depth cameras monitor and capture visitors’ motion and interaction, providing program control information as people together explore the exhibition space. The soundscape is a reflection of presence and agency in an “abstract wild.”
