LO 4 – Sound Art

“Multiverse” by fuse works is a real time audiovisual installation that explores the evolution of universes through generative graphics and sounds. A multiverse is a system of infinite number of universes that exist outside our space-time. I admire the artists visual take on the cosmos and their choice of presenting it in a 7.5 meter high vertical projection that is specifically placed inside a deconsecrated church. Interacting with this piece immediately draws the viewer in and one may feel encapsulated by its hypnotic visuals. They used openFrameworks that generates various scenes which interacts with Ableton Live and Max/MSP for the production of the generative sound system. The gravitational collapse of matter theorized by Lee Smolin describes that matter does not end in a singular black hole but through a, “child – universe”. This idea is captured by the simulation’s generative nature that allows the creation of infinite variation of ephemeral images.
