A very special thanks to Kent Audio Visual, for donating the projector and set up time to the Stereo-Optics project, as well as for being perpetually on-call to help us work out all the bugs. Your contribution (and patience!) was much appreciated.
Splice/Installation: Stereo-Optical Progress Indicators @ The LUX
an exterior visual presentation and installation series, highlighting the transformation of The LUX project
In collaboration with The LUX conversion (the renovation of a defunct office building into a groundbreaking residential living and multi-use development in downtown Wichita), Splice/Event mounted a series of exterior projection sequences on the east wall of the building, at the northwest corner of Market and First Streets. This video art series acted as a monthly public progress update; following the evolution of this construction site, and offering the viewer a dynamic glimpse into the constantly-changing spaces within. The projection events celebrated the multi-disciplinary exploration of the various facets of the building process, from the practical concerns of the architects and contractors, to the inherent aesthetic qualities of the materials and structure itself. The installations featured a street-level soundscape component, composed by Torin and Georgia Andersen.

The first projection approached the project as a whole, examining the initial state of coexistence between the site’s built and natural environments. Imagery reflected the process of building acquisition and documentation of existing conditions.

With the project is nearing completion of the demolition phase at this point, January's projection focuses on the ephemerality of the built environment. As a building stands in stasis, devoid of human occupation or utilities, it begins to move towards a more organic condition, where occupancy, power, water and air flow are generated by natural forces. The audio component was available both on-site, as well as on vehicle radios that were within range.
Photos of the installation are also available on the Fisch Haus facebook page.
