Deep Space Music is an immersive audiovisual experience designed for Ars Electronica’s Deep Space.

Deep Space Music is an immersive audiovisual experience designed for Ars Electronica’s Deep Space. It merges sound and image, music and ultra high resolution computer animation, in a way that transforms the 16x9 meters of wall & floor projection area into a setting for an intimate experience.
                Japanese pianist Maki Namekawa plays a program of works by three visionary composers who are also regarded as great thinkers. Her piano concert musically celebrates the 60th birthday of Ryuchi Sakamoto (JP) and Philip Glass’ (US) 75th, and commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of John Cage (US).
                In order to provide Ms. Namekawa with latitude for spontaneous improvisation, with Nohlab team’s interactive visual art direction, the performance was supported by Plato Media Lab. The team worked live in real time, though, in doing so, they had recourse to a repertoire of prepared graphic elements that are the outcome of an intensive process of encounter with the respective pieces of music.
                The project offered an immersive experience which was associated with Maki Namekawa’s abstract notes, place’s atmosphere and enchanted the audience.
                Selected visuals from 2012 performance can still be experienced in Deep Space at Ars Electronica Center, Linz.
