Developed over a one-week residency, Immersion brings together eight of Australia’s leading audiovisual artists to explore immersive techniques. Released from corporeal entertainment Immersion: electrical empathy will find a unity between space, sound & images creating a new performative experience that is sumptuous & saturating.
Sounds created imaginative worlds, images on-screen entered waking dreams and a shifting sonic depth of field immersed us into a multi-faceted sensual experience.
