Looking Outwards 04: Sound Art

Created by Fraction, Louis-Phillippe St. Arnault, Nature Graphique, and Creation Ex Nihilo, Entropia is an immersive performance built of interconnected layers of media; a physical geodesic structure, immersive visuals, and sonic effects are synchronized by real time 3D programming. It’s meant to pay tribute to the architect and theorist of geodesic design, Richard Buckmeister Fuller.

I particularly admire how new artists added on to the project throughout its making, building new layers of media into what the previous artist had done. The fact that the production used real time programming was also very impressive, and therefore must creative a different experience each time Entropia is performed. The idea that an exact performance will never be recreated would probably make people appreciate all the more.

Going back to the idea that coding isn’t widely considered an “art”, having performances like this would help realize how coding can be artistic in itself. Coding could, like writing, be considered a creative way of expression… just in a different language.
