THREADS [immersive AV]

Threads is a monomyth, a personalised journey that the viewer is encouraged to take, through a series of events based on Irish folklore. Through a truly immersive audio visual environment the visitor experiences a direct visceral connection with the conceptual, the ancient symbolic motifs embedded deeply in Irish culture. https://www.seditionart.com/david-bickley/threads The content is based on a simple premise, that of someone having lost their way. Initially this is physical, the protagonist, whom we never see, has wandered off the beaten track and find themselves in an unfamiliar place. This relates to the idea of ‘The Stray Sod’ an old Irish folklore motif where someone accidentally enters in to Fairyland. In Cornwall we call this Pixie-led but the meaning is the same, a journey that if successful, will ultimately change the consciousness of the hero and their progress upon return to the world of man. The audio elements are primarily made up of location recordings augmented and developed through sound design techniques.
