CONVERSIO
Conversio re-animates an ancient space through the new medium of screen-less animation. In this unique installation, specifically designed for the festival, the site of the old ruined wall of Posterngate is transformed by modern technology to become an integrated backdrop to a diasynchronic installation: an audiovisual kinetic sculpture of choreographed time.
Participants are drawn into a dark, underground space to become immersed in an orchestrated metaphorical conversation between Lincoln’s buried past and modern times.
Conversio explores breaking free from the shackles of previous history to create new configurations. In a spectacular industrial ballet, space is carved with chains that link past and present in this old dock of roman times. Visuals are synchronized with sounds that first reflect the ghostly choreography of animated objects then subside to an evocative echoing emptiness.
Conversio is Latin for revolution, meaning in this ancient context ‘turning around’, and this audio-visual installation reflects on the cyclical nature of life, through exploration of the continuous and the transformational. Their work uses loops, which are circuits or revolutions. It is a revolutionary new medium.
The artwork can only be experienced in the space of the installation, it is impossible to reproduce the experience through video or print representation: you have to be there!
