2022, Federico Murgia & Lorenzo De Beris
Spectrum Tempesta is a collaboration between multidisciplinary artist Federico Murgia and producer/sound engineer Lorenzo De Beris
Spectrum Tempesta is a synesthetic system for site-specific immersive performance that aims to drift the audience into an augmented state of awareness in relation to the natural world and more or less familiar natural phenomena. An artistic ceremony that celebrates the uniqueness of climate events and water states, distorting and reshaping them through carefully generated light and sound motifs. A profound symbiosis between nature and technology that aims to transcend this duality through an orchestrated experience that brings together the spontaneous randomness and the pure kinetic qualities of natural events with technological structures and abstract patterns. A sort of techno-ecology performative manifesto.
Technically Spectrum Tempesta, consists of the use of colorful stroboscopic lights and live sound processing to enhance water-based atmospheric phenomena, such as hailstorms, rainstorms, dense fog and so on.
This project aims to provide a full immersion in the natural elements altering the sensorial perception and cognitive response toward atmospheric phenomena that are familiar but we don’t usually pay attention to.
Utilizing patterns provided by the weather, and artificially through a sprinklers irrigation system, the artists transform and dissect in real-time, both visually and acoustically, the surrounding atmosphere. The live manipulation transforms the perception of the surrounding into a data-driven digital storm.
