Dermot Wilson: ListeningLAB
LOMAA is pleased to host artist Dermot Wilson as the fourth participant in its Visiting Artist Program. During his stay Wilson, based in North Bay ON, will hold a one-night only audio-visual experiment with a reception to follow.
ListeningLAB: An Experiment in Sound and Projected Images
ListeningLAB will be a contemplative sensory overload featuring new audio mixes paired with projected visuals by artist Dermot Wilson. Listeners and viewers alike will experience the reinvention of both found audio and video as the exhibition space is transformed into a sound lounge. Be prepared for a sense-ual delight as the artist renegotiates the art of listening.
