Perth Station Art Series: Stadium
One of the things I love about commuting by public transport to work, university or go catch up with friends is that, when you aren't the one behind the wheel, you get to see things out the window that you otherwise would not have noticed. On the otherhand, when you are in the rush of the commute, trying to make a tight connection, you can often lose perspective of your surroundings.
This series intends to takes a closer look at the public art, at stations along Perth's train network.
Sound & Colour
Chris Nixon and Tom Lucey (2017)
"Nixon and Lucey, an artist and ladnscape architect respectively, have formed a multidiciplinary team to create Sound & Colour. The installation manipulates the lines of the built form to create sculpted light beams channelling kinetic lighting, syncronised wih a dynamic soundscape and embellished with the painted surface treatment to create an emersive multi-sensory artwork.
As pedestrians move through the underpass, lighting and sound will transform the space to create a desired atmosphere through eight distinct synchronised sequences. These sequences are informed by the various activations of the site, offering multiple experiences across the artwork.
A universally accessible artwork, Sound & Colour aims to be inclusive of a people and cultures, in order to further reflect a level playing field.
How to find the cache?
At the posted coordinates you will find a small plaque on the wall.
You will need to locate information on the plaque that indicates who the sound, motion and system designers are. Convert each person's name (both first and last name) into a single digit number using the A=1/Z=26 system. An example is included below.
(Example: BEN = 2 + 5 + 14 = 21 then... 2 + 1 = 3)
Once you have done the above, you will need to answer the following questions:
A = 4 * [SYSTEM DESIGN]
B = 3 * [MOTION DESIGN]
C = [SOUND DESIGN] - [MOTION DESIGN] + [SYSTEM DESIGN]
D = [MOTION DESIGN] + [SYSTEM DESIGN]
E = [MOTION DESIGN] - [SYSTEM DESIGN]
F = 2 * [MOTION DESIGN]
The final cache can be located at:
S 31 56.ABC E 115 53.DEF
The cache is a magnetic mint tin. You will require a pen to sign the log.
