Oscar Zabala — Above/Below Exhibition
ABOVE/BELOW was an audio-visual installation by artist Oscar Zabala that explored the use of AI technology to tap into the subconscious. The entire exhibit was produced by Good Company. This was a ticketed event and guests were able to purchase physical prints of the artwork that was created for the exhibition.
The installation consists of a 7-foot LED display cube surrounded by Ambisonic 3D spatial sound. The experience takes viewers through an audio-visual symphony of hypnotic and meditative sequences that echo patterns in psychedelic and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
The main room of the installation is an audio-visual experience displayed on a four panel LED display cube. The installation uses Ambisonics to create a spatialized 3D aural experience. The LED panels display a hypnotic abstract film taking viewers through a sonic-visual journey from “above” to “below” and back.
