House of Moiré presents a marriage of op-art and immersion. In this linear, non-game and atmospheric piece, the visitor advances through rooms of an otherworldly home , choosing where to pause, look and listen as the surrounding architecture and sound objects reveal themselves. FEATURES Transforming optical patterns 6DOF Audio-visual programming Minimalist spatial design Live processed field recordings TREATING SPACE AS AN INSTRUMENT House of Moiré is the culmination of various iterations of Moiré, a series of A/V works that explore fascinations with psycho-acoustics, sound spatialization, sensory illusion, and real-time virtual environments. Experimental and surreal, House of Moiré invites a temporary escape into an alternative space. It is made with custom audio software, depth cameras, motion capture, and interactive design principles. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Chloe Alexandra Thompson and Matthew Edwards (aka aesthetic.stalemate) are interdisciplinary artists and collaborators. Chloe is a composer and sound designer interested in the physicality of sound and mediation of technology in installation and performance, and Matthew blends installation art, performance and virtual reality.
