Laneway Art and City Spaces 2012
September 21, 2012 – January 31, 2013.
RAP PAR’s Augmented Spatiality is a sound and light installation for Abercrombie Lane, Sydney Australia for the 2012 Laneway Art and City Spaces 2012 annual program by the City of Sydney. The multi-disciplinary team of RAP PAR explores the premise that with advent of digital media and environmental consciousness more than any other point in human history we are able to access and experience the formal qualities of the ambient urban environment. And while social media and global commerce has transcended the confines of place, its impact on culture has made place-centric experiences and spatial awareness more important not less.
Curator Pelin Dervis proposes to reveal specific ambient qualities of Sydney and Istanbul as distinct urban experiences, but also like a cultural exchange, put their ambient sampled qualities into a dialogue that responds to one another. The result blends the two cities into a shared experience for the visitors to Abercrombie Lane. The dialogue of the two cities will be framed on a spatial narrative using equals of space where Istanbul’s sound is sampled to create sequence, compression, gateway, and extension in the experience of the Laneway.
Abercrombie Lane was specifically selected, as it is the only site that is common to many of the urban spaces in Istanbul. The architectural approach developed by SANAL uses 'the line' as a means to create volume, geometry, apertures and form, both in terms of perception and actuality. From George Street a formal 'gateway' will be created to enticing peoples' curiosity, While from Tank Stream Way an 'entrance' will be created to encourage the flow of everyday traffic. The installation can be experienced as a geometric intervention without passing through, but as one moves through the Laneway the geometry expands and contracts to suggest the momentum of Istanbul’s streets.
The artist Refik Anadol, to express the ambient sound data collected from Istanbul’s like streets, visualizes the geometry through sound compositions and light compositions. His sequence of compositions reveals the piece as a whole and also through its intricate spatial and sequence. The urban audience will experience the whole of the piece by moving through the space.
RAP PAR from Istanbul was selected for Augmented Spatiality for the Abercrombie Laneway for 2012 and is their first advanced digital media installation for the Laneways. The City of Sydney took great risk in selecting the proposal as the technology had never been executed at such a scale and for long term out door use. Augmented Spatiality captured their imaginations in terms of creating a new experience for the city visitors, but also that the Laneways project has fostered innovation in digital media culture. The use of EL wires in geometric formation of over 100 meters in outdoors each with customized electronics for Refik Anadol’s complex visualizations of urban sounds sampled and composed from Istanbul, is the first of its kind.
