Check out Kit Webster's atmospheric exploration of sound and light

Date
29 August 2014

Australian artist Kit Webster is has long been fascinated with the emotional and psychological tricks he can play through the manipulation of sound and light. His new piece Hypercube is a concentric cubic sculpture with a 120-metre LED set-up that can be controlled using specially-created software. The pre-recorded cycles allow Kit to control the viewer’s experience, speeding the cube up to a frenzy and breaking the tension with meditative moments of calm.

Kit explains that he likes the combination of a simple sculptural form with the high-tech effects he is able to conjure up through Hypercube. "Its minimalistic structure is designed to elicit a sense of strength, balance and simplicity yet plays host to (and becomes juxtaposed by) a range of intricate choreographies,” he says.
