The Stonecene at Outernet London
The Now Building at Outernet London is a groundbreaking immersive space situated at the intersection of Charing Cross Road, Oxford Street, and Tottenham Court Road. It boasts one of the largest LED screens globally, with a total internal screen surface of 1,209 sqm, a pixel pitch of 3mm, and resolutions exceeding 16k. Its most prominent feature, the South Wall, stands four stories high and offers over 8k resolution, while other walls, including the East, West, and North walls, are approximately 4k. The ceiling itself is 8k, creating a fully connected 16k+ resolution experience.
The venue integrates advanced sensory technologies such as directional sound, atomized scent, and interactive screen features. Its expansive space, which includes a 439 sqm floor area and a maximum capacity of 550 people, is fully rigged to host high-impact staging and production events. Visible from over 100 meters away, this iconic structure transforms Tottenham Court Road station into a gateway to an unparalleled digital storytelling environment.
Sound Production at Outernet: Frequency Symbiosis and Tree Soundscapes
This project, developed at the Outernet Now Building, integrates natural acoustics and body-centric frequencies to create an immersive "frequency symbiosis space." Leveraging advanced audio-visual technology and ecological principles, it bridges human perception, natural ecosystems, and digital networks.
Research Focus:
-
Explores how vibration frequencies influence human perception and their potential to link the physical body with broader ecological and virtual systems.
-
Investigates the use of sound as a medium to unify natural, digital, and bodily realms, proposing new forms of multispecies and multisystem connectivity.
Key Components:
-
Tree Sounds and Natural Frequencies:
-
Captured vibrations from trees and other natural sources form the core of the soundscape.
-
These sounds are harmonised with chakra-based frequencies, creating resonant patterns that influence bodily fluid dynamics and enhance sensory experiences.
-
-
Immersive Digital Space:
-
Designed to synchronise with the 16K resolution LED screens at Outernet, the soundscapes generate a 360-degree immersive environment.
-
Visual and auditory elements are tightly integrated, amplifying the multisensory impact of the installation.
-
-
Frequency Symbiosis:
-
Utilising the concept of resonance, the project connects human body frequencies with geological and ecological systems.
-
The installation fosters a "co-resonance" between the audience and the environment, encouraging meditative and reflective engagement.
