Videoprojection on 8 screens, audio on 8 channels
The video projection shows a portion of the celestial vault, that is dominated by the Perseus constellation and is involved in a process according which the stars are progressively trapped by an imaginary web up to the point of being wrapped in a luminous cocoon of energy.
The audio stream is realized by the sonification of the 20 most visible stars whitin Perseus constellation, according which position and luminosity are translated in sound as a sort of a sounding planetary.
