Liminal - Wolfgang Buttress

Features Liminal - Wolfgang Buttress

An app which expresses the real time data of the River Thames as sound and light.
A custom made and site specific sonar floats in the river near a sculpture called Liminal by artist Wolfgang Buttress.
The sonar sends the real time movements of river life under the sculpture to a wi fi enabled PC.
The computer subsequently transforms the live data and expresses this as an ever changing display of light and sound on the app.
A musical library has been written by the musical collective BE, these individual musical stems are triggered by the activity in the water.
The soundscape is constantly changing; it is fluid and mesmerising suggesting the mystery and beauty of this great river.
The app is a way of making real time emotional connections with the unseen and mysterious.
