Annex #4: Cooper McBean – Caustic Room
Opening November 8th from 7-9pm and part of the Austin Studio Tour (Stop #228), November 16th + 17th
A series of tones are played randomly through an set of 5 resonant panels, producing an evolving audio environment. This is captured via microphone and fed to a transducer which excites the surface of an illuminated pool at the center of the space. The resulting reflections, or “caustics” provide the sole source of light in the room.
