MICROCOSMIC
MicroCosmic is an immersive multimedia installation of a sparkling night sky created entirely from footage of puddles in a carpark and audio from cars on a busy road. By distorting camera angles and layering audio, MicroCosmic transforms the sounds and sights of a busy, potholed highway and a mundane carpark into something else, something spooky, beautiful and almost reality.
Inspired by sci fi and staring at the night sky as a kid in the country, MicroCosmic explores the construction of perception and the irresistable pull of escapism.
MicroCosmic initially exhibited solo at Ruffian Gallery for the inaugural West Projections, 2014. It was developed into a four channel installation at Testing Grounds and shown as part of a group screening SPAN: Summer shows and screenings at Library at The Dock, Docklands curated by The Food Court ARI and nominated for the Whyalla Art Prize. Sound design by Garth Sheridan.
