Octarrarium
Opening reception on Friday, March 11 from 5:30 – 7:30pm,
The Regional Arts Commission (RAC)
presents Octarrarium
which represents the latest iteration of large scale video installation
systems developed by collaborators Kevin Harris and Chad Eivins. The
piece will serve as both a gallery installation and a platform for
sound performance. A multi-sensory and immersive environment, Octarrarium, is created
by encompassing the viewer within eight large projections of live,
interactive video.
Inside Octarrarium,
every movement and sound made will affect the surroundings, controlling
an image blend of live cameras and analog video synthesis. The result
can be personal or communal and is dependent on everything and everyone
within the fortified structure. It is the relationship between art,
public, and environment that is being reorganized and reconsidered.
At its core, Octarrarium
demonstrates that art is not restricted to objects and commodities. It
can be extended to an idea, an emotion, and most importantly, a shared
human experience.
In addition to an experiential gallery installation, Octarrarium will host
collaborative events with many St. Louis artists.
