About this item

Powerful works of art have traditionally sprung from some source deep within an artist and, if they strike the right tone, resonate with an audience to leave a lasting mark. But what if that equation were reversed: what if an artist were to draw their inspiration from deep within their audience, and use that to reflect those ideas, emotions, hopes, fears, pains and aspirations back to us?

Over a two year journey, audio-visual artist and electronic innovator Max Cooper has inverted the creative process by collecting hundreds of anonymous quotes, posing deep but open questions such as "What would you like to express which you cannot in everyday life?" and "What is it like to exist inside your head?"

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Stunningly impressive and expansive long player from long serving UK stalwart Max Cooper. Drifting between ambient synthscapes, pounding techno, futurist electronica and cosmic cybernetic dance; it's a frankly quite overwhelming experience that completely envelopes your being.
