A E R

A E R is a site-specific installation, by UC Berkeley Graduate Composer Didem Coskunseven and Engin Daglik (Stanford), focusing on turning a ‘transitive space’ into a ‘space of experience’ by using lighting design and interactive spatial sound design in such a way that they manifest both an uncanny and inviting ambience. The work consists of four light structures hung on the surfaces of a shipping container and 8-channel interactive audio immersed in this transitive space. The starting point of designing the ambience of A E R evolves around some contrasting concepts such as 'expansion', 'vastness', 'percolation', and 'fragmentation'. 

A E R was exhibited as part of CODAME Art & Technology Festival @GITHUB Headquarters, San Francisco, CA between October 25-27, 2019.This project was supported by, and developed at CNMAT, under the guidance of Edmund Campion. Special thanks to Jeremy Wagner for his contribution in the construction of the installation.
