Wireframe is a site-specific, 16.1 channel sound art installation. The precise computer-controlled movement of sound traces the three dimensional form of the exhibit space to create an immersive architectural sound drawing. With the gallery darkened, visitors will hear rather than see the space in which they find themselves. Wireframe was developed from an idea conceived during a residency at E:vent Gallery, London, and is part of Surrey Art Gallery’s ongoing exhibition program showcasing contemporary audio art practice.
