About the event
John Wynne will be present for the closing event of his sound art exhibition in the Atrium Art Gallery on the 12 March, 4-6pm.
“I arrived in the gallery not knowing what I was going to do, but I did know what I was going to use to do it. I’ve been experimenting with the use of only high and low frequency sounds in a site-specific installation context for some time now.
In order to push my investigations into new territory during this residency, and to heighten the level of uncertainty and chance, I have decided to limit myself to using relatively old technology for the reproduction and arrangement of sounds.
Technological development now moves so rapidly that the potential of ‘old’ software and hardware is often left unexplored in the race to upgrade and update. In fact, I’m using the first computer I ever owned, an Atari ST which has no hard disk and only around 1
megabyte of RAM. Both visually and sonically, the final form of the installation will be determined by the limits and possibilities of the technology the physical and acoustic characteristics of the gallery itself as an architectural space.”
