Zach Clark is a 4th year COCA (Computing and the Creative Arts) student in the School of Computing. In association with his studies in the School of Music, he has created an installation in the Project Room of the Union Gallery in Stauffer Library. The installation is open until April 27, 2011. The following description is from the Union Gallery programme.
“Maya is an interactive sound installation, which explores the Hindu concept of Maya, the veil of illusion cast over unitive reality by our senses. A kaleidoscopic invocation of everyday dualistic reality is rendered in total three dimensional surround sound and participants are encouraged to channel their energy and focus on seeing beyond the illusion. Maya’s veil is evoked in a swirling tapestry of sounds both recognizable and obscure. In seeing beyond the illusion, participants are carried through the void and back to where they began, in the only reality given to us, Maya.”
