Mercedonius
A Mixed Reality Experience
Mercedonius is a mixed reality audio installation, coupled with interactive sculpture. Through head-tracked binaural audio, the listener explores the relationship with time, space, body, and mind through different scenes. Through embodied experience, one synchronizes, de-synchronizes, and re-synchronizes as a dialog with their environment. Mercedonius, whose namesake comes from a legacy Roman calendar month, forms new bonds with time, apart from the clock in and clock out. The experience displays the world through sound to rekindle connection with time that has been lost.
Justin is a transdisciplinary artist who uses code, sound, and pixels to make interactive, audiovisual works. They are currently pursuing an MA in Computational Arts at Goldsmiths, University of London. Since 2018, Justin has exhibited work using sonification, spatial audio, websites, saxophone, and live code. They are interested in the intersections of computer science, community organizing, gender studies, media studies, blockchain infrastructure, and other new media topics.
