An ode to the hidden stars behind curtains of glowing digital light.
Digital Skies explores the relationship between humans and artificial light. The work comments on the extensive use of artificial light and the suppression of the natural environment, focusing in particular on the star-lit sky. The piece reflects on the effects of modern city planning on the environment, our mental health and our ability to dream.
The works visual elements move between distorted dream-like realities and harshly lit scenes, juxtaposed by the soundscape, creating an organic and stable atmosphere through live saxophone, voice and synthesised sounds. The artist highlights this meditative atmosphere by using techniques such as circular breathing and playing repetitive musical patterns.
