13 Jul SUBMERGENCE
Squidsoup’s walkable installation consists of 5,200 points of light suspended in space through thin and vertical ropes, which respond to the presence of the viewer, creating a sensation of movement and an immersive experience.
Submergence transformed the <Arte Abierto> space into a hybrid environment, in which the virtual and physical worlds occur. The artwork is activated through a light and chromatic game in correspondence with the sound. This dynamic sensation manages to create an abstract narrative, which increases until it reaches a final climax. The visitor that entered Submergence had the opportunity to have a light, auditory and spatial experience.
Submergence is a Squidsoup project, directed by Anthony Rowe, Gaz Bushell, Liam Birtles, Ollie Bown, and Chris Bennewith. It has been presented in more than 40 spaces and events around the world.
