Every dull moment (EDM)

Every dull moment (EDM) is a new commissioned work by visual artist Jonathan Zawada and musician Flume created especially for the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ monumental Tank space. This immersive digital art and music installation is built around Zawada and Flume’s experiences of performing and creating visual imagery for international music festivals that centre around EDM (‘electronic dance music’).

Every dull moment (EDM) embodies a constant state of reinvention and movement. Built around short visual, lighting and laser-based pieces with accompanying musical compositions, the work shifts between a series of 10-to-90-second sequences that are randomised and never repeating.

Riffing on the standard elements of an EDM festival – sonics, heady projections and mesmeric lighting and lasers – the work shifts perceptions by shrinking these moments into short and sharp packages, explosive and visceral.

Exclusive to Volume, Flume and Jonathan Zawada have also produced a track that can only be experienced onsite in the Art Gallery’s new building via your device – be sure to bring your headphones!

Please note, there is no live performance associated with this event.
