Co-creators of the 'Shadow Signals' exhibition, Daniel Beban and Tim Barlow will activate the installation in a duo performance, followed by an artist talk discussing the exhibition and other works. ��
'Shadow Signals' emerged out of Tim and Dan's duo performances as The Photonics, an experimental optical sound project. For this performance, The Photonics will perform an experimental sound and light set. Taking a cue from early experiments in light and sound technology, various light emitting sources (including ultraviolet therapy torches, strobes, remote controls and regular LED and tungsten bulbs) are modulated into sound via solar panels, resulting in an immediate and direct transposition of the optical into the audible.��
Following the performance, Tim and Dan will talk about their collaboration, how they use light to create sound and how this can be modulated. They may touch on spiritual motivations including ‘the essence of light’ and psychedelic colour organs. Questions, responses and requests for demonstrations are encouraged.
