Arboreal Lightning - MAI. Arboreal Lightning is a large site-specific interactive lighting installation weaving through the architecture of the main space at the Camden Roundhouse. The installation was created by atmos and it transforms sound and gesture into an undulating, immersive, luminous environment – specifically designed for the Camden Roundhouse. Its activity is generated by both artist performers and a wider audience, creating a performative stage. Arboreal Lightning is the central piece of the Reverb Festival of Contemporary Classical Music – a congregation of contemporary composers and musicians, with an emphasis on technological innovation. After the festival, the musician Imogen Heap will modify and use it on her year-long world tour.
The installation was commissioned by both the Roundhouse venue and the Reverb curator. Arboreal Lightning explores the hidden power of a place – and people. SIGHT + SOUND 2012. Carrie Gates and Jon Vaughn create abstract, fantastical audiovisual artworks from digital and analog technologies to provoke the mind and stimulate the senses. They compose sets of works that showcase the duo’s conceptual vigour, intuitive improvisational flow, and unusual uses of both analog and digital technology.
Gates and Vaughn have been performing together in various incarnations since Y2K and are both independently established visual and sound artists who show their work locally and abroad. Vaughn is a free improviser, musique concrete composer and electronic dance music producer and has recorded over 100 solo and collaborative albums. He also runs a music label called Pop Quiz, releasing albums and EPs by various artists from Saskatoon and across Canada. His visual art is exhibited and published in collaborative, group and solo art books/zines throughout Europe, North and South America and Japan. www.vjcarriegates.com www.jonvaughn.ca.
