Deluge.
There is a torrent of human and non-human sound around us.
This is a kinetic sound installation that aims to create a place of respite in a storm.
An ensemble of the detritus of invisible sound and vibration.
Calm in a deluge of information and weather.

Deluge is particularly inspired by conversations with CAIDE ( Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Ethics), Dr Johanna Trippas and Dr Lou Bennett.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and the Science Gallery, University of Melbourne.

DELUGE EXPERIENCE
This is a listening space.
The experience is designed for approximately 15-20 minutes. It will repeat. Audience is invited to spend as much time as they like in here.

There is a set of revolving ultra directional speakers in the space that make the architecture speak.
