- Arup Acoustics create immersive audio environment for 3D video art installation with JBL Control 29 speakers. -
BFI Southbank Gallery has gone 3D — thanks to a new immersive video installation by British artists Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard
Radio Mania: An Abandoned Work is part film and part rehearsal, a contemporary adaptation of 1922 3D silent film The Man from M.A.R.S. captured using contemporary 3D video and audio technologies. A 2D version of the original film resides in the BFI National Archive
Forsyth & Pollard worked with Arup Acoustics in New York to create the multi-channel surround environment in the Gallery’s adaptable 190 sq. metre space for soundtrack playback; their system designer/lead engineer Ryan Biziorek then worked with Sound Technology, the Harman Pro UK distributors, who provided 12 x JBL Control 29AV’s and a pair of SB210 subs, linked to the ambisonic platform. They also supplied a pair of Crown CTs 8000 amplifiers.
According to Dominic Simmons, the BFI’s Technical Manager for exhibitions, “Generally we would use JBL Control 25’s for our exhibitions but for this show we needed additional power.”
Ryan Biziorek explained, “The Control 29’s produced the SPL we were trying to achieve in the listening area within the gallery. We have used JBL on previous ambisonic installations and have been very happy with the loudspeaker sound quality, seamless coverage and easy mounting hardware.”
