nite_aura: audio-visual immersive installation

Published:26 October 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

'nite_aura' has been developed as both an artistic work and an instrument for research into immersive environments. 'nite_aura' is an audio-visual, interactive installation exploring physical motion within an alternative immersive environment. The enchantment of the night's sky has inspires flights of imagination and whispered wishes in humans of all ages. 'nite_aura' embodies these memories and experiences allowing for visitors to whisper to the air and play with fields of stars surrounding them in an interactive immersive art installation focusing on sensual and physical interaction. The work investigates the effect of the texture of space, light and sound in providing a comforting, relaxing, and meditative quality of immersion.
