Adrena Adrena
About the Show.
This site-specific installation configures a raw industrial warehouse space using an array of suspended, projection-mapped spheres to create an ever-changing, audio-visual, immersive walk-in environment exploring three different journeys. The visuals move away from the usual organic and transcendental work of Adrena Adrena, instead responding directly to the venue by taking on a heavy, industrial, and dystopian aesthetic. The piece responds to sound with an ever-changing, audio-reactive visual horizon of mapped objects. This layout gives the audience a walk-through experience that shifts as they move through the space, encountering the installation from different angles and listening positions. While the visual component remains constant, the acoustic environment shifts via a rotating soundtrack consisting of three district musical compositions. These separate scores were created for the project by experimental musicians E-Da Kazuhisa, Akihide Monna, and Koichi Yamanoha. Played in sequence over the course of the weekend, each composition alters the context and perception of the single visual environment, presenting three different perspectives on the same spatial work.
