The sound pieces are creating using a baseline of multiple random 0/1 speculations 8 bits deep that are mapped and then re-processed via a MS20m with live filtration/modifications with text pulling from original documentation of the PA-8000 PCX-U family of computer chips. Two pieces or outcomes were created Pt 1 and Pt 2 with each using the same base structure but with different speculative results.
The installation builds a sci-fi techno dystopic environment where computers have run amok to ruminate on possible future outcomes. The installation incorporates both conventional static lighting fixtures, a 2 sided hallway of custom LED pylons, and realtime software. 9 LED pylons driven by video create a staggered hallway like form that becomes increasingly erratic. Flanking the hallway are 8 beam fixtures that slice through the hallway as an asymmetric diagonal as they progressively cycle from larger to smaller groupings with increasingly random behavior that coincides with the speculative guesses in the sound component. The hallway terminates in a triple stack of blinding shrouded rectangular lights that signal the end of each speculative evaluation phase. While the software piece performs realtime random evaluations that mimic those that formed the sound pieces. All visual components are synchronized for quadrophonic or stereo presentation and runs as a continuous loop, endlessly evaluating, endlessly speculating, a future that may or may not be...
