AETHER
"Aether" is like a modern Koyaanisqatsi...... A living audio-visual dream.
—Athens Voice
“If a swarm of fireflies trained to perform a synchronized dance routine suddenly flew into an indie rock show, it might look something like Aether.”
- Creators Project
Aether is a light field installation developed in collaboration with musician Max Cooper. It’s a charged space of potential energy—a woven grid of glowing lights that interpret sound into effervescent patterns and rhythmic movements. We aimed to complement the narrative of music in a spatial form, creating a visual embodiment of sound during a performance.
Like a dancer improvising, Aether translates music into hypnotic waves and phosphorescent fragments, stirring something deeper within the audience. The installation was designed to not only deliver a sensory experience but also function as a tourable musical instrument in and of itself.
