Compound Terrains, by Tom Slater and Jeremy Keenan, is an audiovisual work that emerged from an interrogation of three dimensional audiovisual spatialisation technologies and their role in the production so-called virtual and disembodied spaces. 

​

By converging laser beam projections with simple graphics and the immersive the audio capabilities of Budapest's 4D sound system, this installation induces an ambiguity of multistable, digital/physical and dis/embodied space. These hybrid spaces suggest different regimes of synaesthesia, knitting sensations together in varying proportions. 

​

This version of compound Terrains was first shown in April of 2019 at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest, Hungary. It consists of 24 lasers, 48 channel sound, and a single video projector.

​

A 3.5 metre by 2 metre video screen was positioned at the end of the gallery creating the illusion that the laser array continues beyond the confines of the physical space.

​

This installation is 35m long by 22m wide.
