TechBox: Interaction of colour in space  

This July, TechBox returns to Freespace, transforming The Room once again into a lab for media art experimentation.

In a work-in-progress presentation – part of a multi-year project of performances, sharing sessions and public events – cross-disciplinary artist Samson Young collaborates with lighting designers Kinphen Leung and Kaki Lai, sound designers Gut Lam, Caesar Seto and Jaycee Kwok, and space designer Tiffany Lau to explore visual and aural perceptions of colour in time and in space.

Inspired by Joseph Albers’s influential 1960s text Interaction of Color, the creative team explore media technologies with a focus on sound spatialisation and the interaction between visual and auditory senses. How does visual and sonic colour fill a space or bleed through an edge? How does the passing of time take on a variety of hues?

The durational presentation takes place over a period of six hours on each day. The audience are free to enter or leave the venue at any point during this time. This event marks the first phase of the research and development of the project. A full-scale presentation is scheduled to take place at Freespace in 2023.
