ABOVE/BELOW is my solo exhibit and audio-visual installation that launched in New York on May 17 - 22, 2022.  It explores the use of immersive technology to tap into the subconscious. The installation consists of a 7-foot LED display cube surrounded by Ambisonic 3D spatial sound. It takes viewers through an audio-visual symphony of hypnotic and meditative visions that echo patterns in psychedelic and non-ordinary states of consciousness.



THE CUBE

The main room of the installation is an audio-visual experience displayed on a four panel LED display cube.  The installation uses Ambisonics / Atmos audio to create a spatialized 3D aural experience. The LED panels display a hypnotic abstract film taking viewers through a sonic-visual journey from “above” to “below” and back. The lighting beam from inside ‘The Cube’ is synchronized to the visuals, creating a fully immersive environment.





“THE CONCEPT OF ABOVE BELOW IS ACTUALLY THAT THEY’RE ONE AND THE SAME, A REFLECTION OF ONE ANOTHER, IT’S AN EXPLORATION OF NON-DUALITY."
