Wireless
Interactive Sound and Tactile Environment
Francis Rwama presents his latest work Wireless, an interactive audio installation based on the sound and touch world of visually impaired people. Using sounds specially recorded in Uganda, West Africa and London, Francis has created an environment that reflects the orientation of his world without sight - the magic, the frustrations, the cautions and the subtleties.
Wireless invites the audience to explore the darkness, to question their relationships with sound and asks, how do we navigate and respond to everyday sounds, space and proximity without a visual landscape of confirmation? Tactile pieces designed by collaborator Diane Pungartnik create a boundary mapping of the space, adding a textural layer coupled with often humorous relationships to order in this experience of sensory deprivation and enhancement.
