A multimedia installation with surround-sound, sculpture, text, and video from Ergo Phizmiz, using sounds from the past 1000 years to create a collage piece celebrating human achievement and creativity.
With references to everything from Bach to Beyonce to the Beach Boys, the piece has met with international acclaim through it’s internet presence and international airplay, including a full broadcast over six weeks of the entire, 3-hour work on Resonance FM. With audience figures for the work now well in-excess of 100,000, this is the only opportunity to experience the project in an installation format.
The launch night on Sat 6 Jan 2007 will include live performances from Ergo Phizmiz and My Friend Jared and I <3 Audrey.
