Ambient photographic light paintings weave a shifting field of illumination and shadow in this three-screen edition of M2’s Lumina series. Evolving images from the edges of perception take the foreground to birth an atmosphere of enigma. Each viewer will experience a unique light triptych in the installation and a chance to spend moments with mystery or to hurry onwards.
Three wide-screen monitors present the Lumina art, fed from asynchronous DVD players. The drifting ambient soundscape, from three discrete stereo streams, are mixed to mono for Roadside Attraction’s street-PA system.
Scott M2 (Scott McGregor Moore) is the founder of Canadian soundscape group dreamSTATE, known for their ambient installations, albums and atmospheric live performances. Deeply rooted in the concepts of ambient music, Scott has initiated a series of investigations into the possibilities of ambient film and related multimedia to induce a slower, subtler relationship with time and space. His latest projects include Muse Concrète photography/multimedia, including the Lumina and Cloud Painting series, and Oblique Poetries wordsoundart with poet/fiber-artist Lynn Harrigan.
