unsungsongs3.jpgSeventeen Unsung Songs: East of Odyssey (37, 89, 32) by Adam Nash (aka Adam Ramona) :: Press launch: September 1; Public launch: September 8 (through through November 1) to coincide with an Ars Electronica linkup performance.

Odyssey presents a site specific installation by Australian artist Adam Nash (aka Adam Ramona in Second Life). Occupying most of an entire sim, Seventeen Unsung Songs is an artwork consisting of one large central piece, with 16 smaller pieces that are distributed throughout a forested landscape. These are interactive, immersive audio visual works based on a 16 tone rational scale, which Adam Nash devised. Viewers experience the exhibition by wandering through the wooded sim to find pieces like “the Moaning Columns of Longing” nestled in a grove of Euclyptus.

unsungsongs2.jpgWandering a bit, one comes upon the the large, central piece which consists of 5 emotional / audio / visual “zones” with amorphous borders. It is very broad and tall. Viewers need to fly to experience it fully, and the longer a viewer spends within the piece the more it evolves. All of these works engage the viewer through interaction, some are designed to work between multiple viewers. This large scale installation of Nash’s work in SL follows his own “Ramonia: Garden of Immersive Sound” and “A Rose Heard at Dusk” which is on temporary exhibit above the Odyssey amphitheater.
