Shannon Novak


New Zealand artist Shannon Novak, a synesthete, posits that ‘music is in everything.’ He creates compositions for objects, locations, and people much as musicians might compose for/about places, persons or experiences with emotional resonance for them. Novak will compose a series of new works for particular objects in each exhibition space for The Emperor’s New Clothes. The audience will use a mobile device (mobile phone and/or tablet) to reveal each work; a short animation of geometric forms accompanied by an instrumental track.
