| Description/Abstract: | This project, conceived by Phil Gomm initiated in November 2013, when staff and students of BA (Hons) Computer Animation Arts heard a performance of Verdi's Requiem in Picardie, Amiens. Following their visit, students created visual responses to this inspiring and dramatic piece. At the November performance, conductor Arie van Beek agreed to wear motion sensors for the ninety minutes of the Requiem performance. The data produced from Arie's moment-to-moment movement was captured and, working with a specialised team of staff and alumni, the numercial data was turned into a series of seven curves each representing the seven movements of the Requiem. The seven digital curves were then translated into seven physical sculptures, laser-cut from steel, and sited in the gardens of the Royal Opera House's High House Production Park, Purfleet. |
