Headway
Clemson University
Lee Gallery
October 6 – November 12, 2008
“Headway” is a sculptural kinetic work hovering six feet above the gallery floor. Martijn van Wagtendonk explains, ” In these works, a calculated study of motion and force is paired with a variety of elements of myth and religion to give the sense of a new philosophy… In the form of an installation, art has the ability to immerse the viewer in a multi-sensory experience. By using this approach, and the implications of a suggested new mythology, the viewers are urged to think about their own convictions and the origins of these notions as we consider and reconsider what we think we know to be true…”

SynAesthetic Time Machine could most easily be described as a live cinematic experience. Using a combination of specialized software, synthesizers, drum machines, midi instruments and video gear SynAesthetic Time Machine creates a fully synchronized audio-visual performance in real time before an audience. Members Adam Barfield, Bryan Dodson, and Michelle Penland Dodson (2008 ICE Project Grant recipient) each manipulate various devices creating a multimedia collage that takes the audience on a trip through time and space. Lighting, video and sound are all kept perfectly synchronized while being created and manipulated improvisationally on stage.
