Sanctum

"Nature is not a place to visit. It is home."
Gary Snyder

Sanctum is a reconfiguration of Particle Shrine for an art gallery setting. The piece includes live data projections and sonification from Super Kamiokande in Japan and 2 cosmic ray detectors. Super Kamiokande creates soaring soundscapes while the data from localised detectors creates blasts of light and sonic hits.

Compositionally, the data is sonified with much calmer, generative soundscapes than Particle Shrine.
