DreamScape01_Technicolour
Curious farm of light, sound and steel... Arrive and awaken your senses to the DreamScape.
Dynamic palettes of slowly shifting colour, a panning chorus of synth sounds and pulses of mechanical smoke greet entranced spectators. By day the steel truss structures glistens in the sun, with RGB floodlights offering sun saturated panels of artificial colour and calculated plumes of smoke. Colour, smoke and sound create a hyper-real oasis. At night, the structure is a vibrant retreat from the dark. Plumes of light-filled smoke in the distance beckon pedestrians who are greeted by a technicolour symphony.
The lack of a singular centrepiece or obvious point of focus leaves visitors with the choice of sitting and observing, wandering throughout the space or perhaps moved to express themselves through movement. The light and smoke fixtures as well as the truss evoke personal memories of nights spent on dancefloors. Now the only performance is the passing of time beneath the slow revealing patterns of light and sound. Bouncers will not deny entrance to the show, you are the spectator, the VIP, the performer.
