Argus Reanimated
Argus Reanimated was an installation with visuals by metaLuna (Craig Whittington and Hayley Atkinson) and sound by Rucas (John Castrillon & Rupert Johnson).
In 2006, Craig and Hayley were living in the Argus Lofts directly above the redevelopment of the new Lighthouse premises. Lighthouse commissioned the duo to produce an interactive installation using sound and photos collected during the renovation. After extensive digital manipulation, this content was reanimated live during the launch event for the new premises to create a dynamic audio-visual experience.
The audience were invited to take part by using midi controllers and a theremin. Although the installation followed a linear progression (from the building’s previous incarnation as home of the Argus newspaper, to deserted space, then to building site), the dynamic nature of piece meant that the renovation process could be explored in unexpected ways.
