"Deepfield Echo" Microchunk artists Overlap have created an audiovisual installation that radiates a cold ethereal beauty tinged with nocturnal mystery.  Flashing lights and panoramic sound music, faint female mystical voices and phosphorescent glows communicate a midnight call to a beautiful abduction of a 60s refridgerator sales model...

POLE HIGHWAY  - audiovisual telegraph pole installation


The site is cut through by a long line of telegraph poles which form a long narrow canyon through the trees. Lights at intervals along the pole line flash in sequence, drawing peoples' eyes down the line and deep into the forest where a "double" telegraph pole forms a spectacular frame.  Viewers crossing the canyon look one way and see the sequence of lights flashing towards and away from them into infinity.  The other way - a mirror image of the lights appears in the frame, a back projected trompe d'oeille.  High speed objects - jumbo jets, leaves, snow, trains, lights, cable cars, household objects, figures, race towards them at the height of the poles.  Sounds of jets, traffic, trains, in staccato bursts fly past on both sides with the traffic.  X files meets 19th Century heroic landscape painting
