Often this work-in-progress - in development for some time - has been enhanced by technology's evolution. From its inception, however, it has always been our desire to seek an expression that speaks to our times - a new 21st-century beginning of America's sense of place tradition. Voice of the Landscape melds digital SoundScapes, video and stills while morphing the more traditional 19th & 20th-century modalities of painting, drawing, and photography.
Thomas Cole's 1827 Sketchbook
The project provides a look inside
It is a subject that to every American
ought to be of surpassing interest; ... in the midst of American scenery —
it is his own land; its beauty, its magnificence, its sublimity — all
are his; and how undeserving of such a birthright, if he can turn towards
it an unobserving eye, an unaffected heart!
—Thomas Cole. An Essay On American
Scenery, 1835
PLEASE NOTE:
No single channel video can adequately demonstrate the immersive quality of this multimedia installation. Our original SoundScape is a holosonic sound field presented with parabolic SoundSpheres throughout the installation space. The visual field environment morphs with the exhibition space and equipment encompassing multiple wall and floor projections playing simultaneously with additional feeds to monitors. Voice of the Landscape will demonstrate the possibilities inherent in new projection systems as well as the interdisciplinary learning and interactive aspects of digital media modalities.
