Listening to a Landscape
2009
Multimedia Installation
300x800x250 cm
Listening to a Landscape was born as a scenography for a musical composition and it was formerly created for my final project of the MA Scenography [Dance] at Trinity Laban in which I graduated in the December 2009. The project included a dissertation about the connections between visual art and music with a particular emphasis on the correspondence between Ambient Music and post -industrial landscapes. With this multimedia installation I created an immersive atmosphere through the use of music, moving images, light and perfume. It is a study in the possibilities of music and sound, which have been my primary sources in creating the installation. My focus was on giving a visual interpretation of a musical composition creating an ambience in which every compositional element stems from the sound. The authors of the music are Pendle Coven, a duo formed by the British musicians Miles Whittaker and Gery Howell. During my research I closely analysed their music, establishing an artistic dialogue with Miles Whittaker who re-arranged the musical composition for the installation

viola conti
 curriculum pdfis a multimedia artist born in San Marino in 1982 working between San Marino and the UK. Weaving a constant dialogue between sound and image, Viola Conti explores the complexity of contemporary landscape, the mutation of the natural environment and the connections between post industrial landscapes and electronic music. In her work, the artist describes the landscape of the Anthropocene through absence and subtractions, giving a personal, poetic slant to the act of documentation. The emphasis of her practice is on creating multimedia installations and live media performances where the music and the moving images not merely coexist, but cooperate in creating an ambience and an immersive experience for the spectator. She graduated in 2009 in the MA Scenography [Dance] at Trinity Laban, London, with a dissertation entitled �Listening to a Landscape - Investigating Relationship between Visual Art and Music�. The final project was conceived as a multimedia immersive installation with music composed by the British electronic musician Miles Whittaker, with whom she currently collaborates. |  |
