AMAUROSIS
Amaurosis Fugax: Latin fugax meaning fleeting, Greek amaurosis meaning darkening, dark, or obscure
Market Hall - Plymouth, UK - Pics Jay Stone
Amaurosis is an outrageously original three dimensional experience in the dark.
Blindfolded and guided solely by sound for the first 30 minutes, the audience becomes the architects of their own narrative, igniting an unexpected journey. For the final 10 minutes they are showered with sensual textured visuals to bring them home.
The experience encourages us to be truly present and fully immersed in the moment.
When capturing experiences through devices often detracts from the moment itself, AMAUROSIS redirects focus to the art of listening. Amidst a visually overloaded world, this experience empowers the imagination.
Digitally conducted in multi-channel to change the listener’s perception of the environment - the holophonic sound bends the laws of acoustics, so realism is no longer relevant.
