The final multimedia performance of the âCube of Lightâ immersive art experience will delve into the intersection of light, sound, perception and space.
Oklahoma City Universityâs art gallery will host the performance, titled âDolby Atmos Album Experience,â from 5-7 p.m. Nov. 13.
Drawing musical inspiration from modern classical traditions as well as influences such as Daft Punk, Muse, Animal Collective and the âStranger Thingsâ soundtrack, the album experience invites audiences to slow down, look closer, and experience light and sound in a whole new way.
âCube of Lightâ is a post-classical visual album created by Christina Giacona and Patrick Conlon of . Its centerpiece is â1 mÂł light, 1999,â an installation composed of halogen lamps, steel stands and a fog machine that transforms light into a tangible art object. Eliasson, globally recognized for his explorations of artâs relevance, challenges viewers to engage with their perception of space and environment.
â1 mÂł light, 1999â is on loan from the Christian Keesee Charitable Trust.
The exhibit, open through Nov. 20, is complemented by the haunting images of contemporary artist âGhost, 2022â2023â series. These platinum prints reveal faint traces of forgotten photographs on the backs of old pictures â a side effect of the platinum photography process. Matternâs meticulous re-photographing and re-printing of these apparitions breathe new life into old works, highlighting the mediumâs self-reproducing nature.
