This event has ended.

Matt Ganucheau’s latest work, Deluge, entails a minimalist aesthetic rife with complex meaning. The work explores the way we, collectively, engage and interact with sound in our environment. Comparable to a visual parallax, our sense of sound in concert with our minds seems to produce an innumerable amount of sounds and tones contingent upon the viewer. Deluge creates a sensory experience through kinetic sound.

This latest work is an exploration in our relationship to signal and noise. Each serve as auditory cue forcing the participant to re-configure themselves in physical space. Pushing through the cacophony of noise, a warm undulation of drones and rhythms emanate from a multi channel sound array. The transformation is controlled by the participants’ placement around the sculpture. Many contemporary interactive pieces rely on visuals but Deluge is dependent on our collective sense of sound and our relationship with others. From a fire alarm to syncopated drums to crying and laughter, the body and mind react to what we hear within our environment. Ganucheau’s work incorporates performative and gestural qualities reminiscent of relational aesthetics while utilizing sound as the primary medium.
