An Immersive Experience by Charlie Troman From the safety of his childhood Darkroom, created in his bedroom cupboard, the once Little Boy with a Torch shines his light on a new immersive experience at this festival of light and technology. He has designed a project of intriguing light and sound. Using audio visual technology to illustrate what it is like to feel “not normal” in a world outside today’s Darkroom Door; a place where we are constantly distracted and bombarded by technological notifications and the inconvenience of convenience in everyday life, devoid of human interaction. He invites us into this new “Darkroom” to tell a story of this modern overwhelm outside in the world by taking us on a journey of confusion, distraction and wonder with his 15 strange and eerie storytelling cubes. Filled with 15,000 programmable LED’s and accompanied by a cleverly placed spatial audio. The cubes, whilst using millions of colours and abstracted audio, mesmerise us with light, shapes and sounds, flickering and filling every corner during this 20 minute experience. Calm is restored, reflection is re-purposed back in the Darkroom when the lights come back on.
