Installation view

Metaspace V3 is an interactive immersive light-soundscape that connects natural and artificial perception. Light projects through a resin lens inside the sculpture and casts saturated color sequences onto the sculpture’s seamless skin. To the human eye, this appears as an endless color void. Viewers within the sculpture, however, are not just physically part of its environment. They are digitally quantified by embedded sensors that capture an array of information, including light frequency, live video, and motion tracking data. Processors merge these constantly changing data points with algorithms that map the visible spectrum to the audible spectrum. With Spectro-Sonic Refrequencing (SSR), a form of reality augmentation the artist developed, the digitized light information is converted to sound in real time, making light audible. Viewers not only experience the full color-space immersion with their eyes, but they also hear the light. They feel sound vibrations created by a digitally mapped version of themselves within the space. All this happens while Metaspace V3’s sensory apparatus responds to its participants’ actions with changes in hue, luminosity, and the speed of color shifts. The behavior of the sculpture is affected by what it sees and viewers react to the sculpture reacting to them. The feedback loop between the art sensing its participants and the participants sensing the art blurs subject and object. Both continuously process and respond to each other’s virtual and physical information. Girardoni’s commingling of natural and virtual structures, layered on top of one another, creates a suprasensorial environment where phenomenological events and digital systems blur. Matter becomes light, and light becomes sound. Ultimately, in the heart of this setting, Metaspace V3 questions the border between natural and artificial phenomena.

Participants inside Metaspave V3 experience space as boundless.

Viewers in the sculpture, however, are not just physically part of its environment.

Processors merge these constantly changing data points with algorithms that map the visible spectrum to the audible spectrum. The digitized light information is converted to sound in real time through a form of reality augmentation the artist calls Spectro-Sonic Refrequencing (SSR), which makes light audible. Viewers experience the full color-space immersion with their eyes; but they also hear light. They feel sound vibrations, which are a digitally mapped version of themselves within the space. All this happens while Metaspace V3’s own sensory apparatus reacts to its participants’ actions with changes in hue, luminosity, and the speed of color shifts. The behavior of the sculpture is affected by what it sees, and viewers react to the sculpture reacting to them. This creates a virtual feedback loop between the art and its participants, blurring subject and object, as both continually process and respond to each other’s virtual and physical information. Girardoni’s architecture of both natural and virtual structures, layered on top of one another, creates a multi-sensory, immersive environment of phenomenological events and digital systems. Matter becomes light and light becomes sound. Ultimately, in the heart of this setting, Metaspace V3 questions the border between natural and artificial phenomena.
