sound.transmission.light is an audio responsive artwork developed in Berlin and combines light & video projection together with a unique paper panel construction. The transmission of light through the naturally dyed paper has beautiful properties and gives character to the light and video; a fusion of organic and digital is the outcome.

The project is a collaboration between Australian artists On-Yau Lui (based in Berlin) & Richard Byers (Sydney) and local musicians, In Tokyo, Yukiko Tsuda, Mayumi Ishida & Marimi Morito, in Berlin Felix Haenel, and in Sydney, John Maddox, Wayne Wormald, Danny Graham & Mark Piccles. The artwork responds to audio played by the musicians and creates an intimate performance of music, surface & light.

The artwork has been presented in Berlin & Tokyo in 2009 and is now being performed in Sydney.

some photos from the event held in Berlin on the 7th October 2009. I worked in collaboration with On-Yau Lui & Jeff Johnston in producing an interactive installation. 6 paper panels suspended in a darkened space, illuminated by light, pattern and video. The work responded to sound and people in the space could walk around and through the work, with subtle interaction between them and the artwork.
