ROBERT HAIS

Reverse Odyssey

This installation for the Biwako Biennale in Japan is based on light and sound, and is more of an experience rather than an object to observe or admire.

 

The origin of the sound is the electro magnetic radiation, radio signals, light waves and the cosmic microwave background (380.000 years after the Big Bang) from our known universe that has been “translated” into sound (by NASA and professor John Cramer at the University of Washington).

 

A new composition or arrangement based on the small sound bits, is composed by the artist Robert Hais and composer Mats Johansson (Isildurs Bane), into an approximately 2,5 minute sound-scape.

 

The Light installations corresponds to the sound-composition and the original wavelengths of the cosmos in an abstract setting to create a fictional journey into the origin of time and space.
