MORI Show

This show was one of the most interesting shows. The presentation, concept, setting, lighting, audio, and space worked in such a united and coherent way together. The scientific facts behind the piece and the establishment of the mood and the visuals transform the atmosphere where the viewer exists and takes him/her to an underground world, and this is the message that the creator of the piece, Randall Packer, is trying to convey, I guess. First, the dark curtains reveal the attempt to enter a different dark world, then the ambiant sounds stress the underground activities of the earth, the walls and the height of the place emphasize that too, then you are drawn to the center where you have a hole in the ground that drives your curiousity to look inside it, then you see the true interaction between the audio and the visual where you have a monitor with a wavy snaky silver line moving with the same beat and rythm of the ambiant sound. That was amazing. I really like the idea of the link between the two phenomena of sound and sight. The show very reminded me of the Hirshhorn show and the phenomenon of the Synaesthesia (the unity of the senses in terms of synthesis of the arts. Arts include photography, paintings, digital media, installations, light art, and videos).
