”SKYNIGHT MOTHER” (AURORA MATERNAL VARIANT)
Originally having no intent on creating here in Arteles, this
project came about as a response to the immense influence
that the darkness of a Finnish winter had on myself as well
as my fellow artists (I mainly wanted to use this as a retreat
to teach myself Unity3d and brush up on my Puredata skills).
Upon arriving at Arteles, we saw no stars in the night sky. In
retort, Mariana Echeverri and Naomi Bishop had produced a
constellation projection to brighten up the night. Upon seeing the
stars again I endeavored to produce something akin to it in my
own vein (The inclusion of the northern lights aesthetic also came
from Naomi’s initial desire to see them during her stay here).
Using the same programming template as two of my previous
projects (Cellspace Sister and Cityland Brother) I created Skynight
Mother as an addition to the “”Spatials Family”” that I have been
working on. They are all interactive ‘patches’ created in Puredata
which are then projected. This particular iteration has the subtitle
“Aurora Maternal” in reference to Naomi Bishop and my time in
Arteles; unlike the rest of the family this one is not interactive.
