Syren for Port Jackson
17-19 March 2006
10am, 11.30am, 3pm or 4.30pm
Syren is a fully immersive surround sound experience of Sydney Harbour abroad the ferry Regal, but with a powerful difference: all the sound content is generated in response to the ferry's geographical location and speed. The performance considers Sydney as a ‘working harbour’ and tracks the route of Sydney’s ferries allowing passengers to link the sonic experience on board with the visual experience of the surroundings.
The tour departs from Commissioner Steps adjacent to the MCA throughout the New Constellations conference, and is open to the public. This is a collaboration between artist Nigel Helyer and scientists Chirs Rizos and Daniel Woo, University of New South Wales.
Each tour is 90 minutes in length and limited to 30 participants.
ADMISSION: FREE
Bookings essential (Mon- Fri); 02 9245 2484 or education@mca.com.au
