James Akers. Project: Chorlton // Manchester. Lewis Sykes The Augmented Tonoscope. Graeme Cole. Nomination: Hannah Mosley. Angie Atmadjaja. Angie Atmadjaja is a sound artist currently working and living between Indonesia and Manchester. Her work centres on quiet, abstract, minimal audio/visual installations that explore psychoacoustic and acoustic phenomena. By articulating pure sound materials such as sinewaves and filtered noise, she creates works that place viewers in a realm of pure experience where sound is perceptually tangible.
In 2007, she was chosen as a shortlisted composer with Sound & Music. Currently researching at the University of York, she is working on minimal sound installations, influenced by artists such as James Turrell, Bridget Riley, Richard Serra and Fred Sandback. Works to date have included visual and audio installations such as wall & colour (2006), states of being (2007), intrinsic (2008/09) and structure (2009). Project: Tilt. 424.42m356.7HzTILT is an immersive environment that pursues the concept of Bikkuri as elements of quiet surprises and confusions in the ear, eye and body balance. The work is a response to the acoustic space of Gallery B, created for the Bikkuri exhibition at Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Japan, designed by Tadao Ando through which he explored the concept of invisibility.
Gallery B has been modified into a white void, keeping the shape of the space intact while eliminating any point of reference, a space of little shadow, depthless and flat. By doing so, viewers are encourage to understand the volume of air contained, in particular the dimensions of the space that has influenced the resulting standing wave caused by injecting 56.7Hz sinewave from a mono source into the space. The work began as acoustic measurements of the various standing waves configuration in the space. Nomination: Daksha Patel. RetroFuzz Ltd. Sarah Greaves.
