'Metramorphosis' is a major upcoming multi-media exhibition directed by internationally-acclaimed visual artist/designer/animator Laura Emel Yilmaz. I am contributing the complete soundscape for the exhibition (music/sound design/audio production), which will premiere at The Dowse Art Museum in Wellington, New Zealand in 2025, followed by an exhibition at Pah Homestead in Auckland in 2026. The short video above shows brief snippets from the first prototype of the interactive game/experience, demonstrating my real-time audio (assembled in FMOD) that reacts to Laura's line-work animations. This work-in-progress interactive piece will become one of the three major outputs of the exhibition.
About the exhibition, Laura writes:
"Combining elements of hand-drawn animation and experimental game design with spatial design and large-format sculpture, it explores metaphors of the maternal body at the borderspace between Self and Other – a site of mutual creation, transformation, and obliteration. Its embodied, gestural controls are somatic and intuitive, while its uncanny, looping animations are atemporal and evocative. The result is uniquely sensual and participatory experience, a co-creation between both artist and audience."
