CHORUS OF LUNGS

Chorus of Lungs is a 3D interactive sound-and-video installation that explores the idea of the social body – its voice and its breath. Created by Leila Sujir and Maria Lantin, the installation appears as a constellation of animated lungs that float in space with the cadence of breathing. Viewers, by pushing their hands together or apart, allow the lungs to become a visual and audible chorus. The artists say they are exploring “the tensions between community, chorus and individual voicing with an attentiveness to our singular and collective being.” The work draws on the latest media technologies as well as artistic innovation and collaboration. Sujir teaches in the intermedia cyberarts program at Concordia University in Montreal; Lantin is director of the Intersections digital research centre at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver.

Runs Nov. 15 to Jan. 18 at Centre A in Vancouver.
