Bradford Bahamas-Giant Theremin using screens

About Me


.
INTRODUCTIONLiving and working in London. My ongoing work seeks to explore and bridge the gap between the arts and the sciences, currently using immersive, interactive audio/visual installations that evolve, adapt and grow as others interact with them. I utilise pure electrical current and frequency, used to create visuals on the screen allowing the viewer to see the true properties of the force that we take for granted, and in turn, by encouraging people to interact with the screens by touching them, analogue sonics are produced. Ones physical movement controls what is heard, similarities to the Theremin.The project is concerned with a variety of issues that are passed to those who interact with the piece, these include:a) The visualisation of sound and electricity through analogue means. An opportunity to see the forms and sense the behavior of natural forces around us b)· Raising awareness of environmental issues such as wastage, recycling and electromagnetic radiation pollution and physiological electromagnetic absorption, hopefully giving rise to debate over the safety of such emissions. c) An opportunity to experiment with and understand the similarities, and differences between the digital and analogue and how both, do and can work in conjunction for the better. A showcase of how one another supersede each other in its own strengths.For More please visit http://www.bradfordbahamas.com
