Garden uses linear-immersive media (live music, transparent and projected video) to explore the expressive, metaphorical, and cross-cultural realms of place, night time, and our threatened natural environment. Through the interplay of music and visual elements combining the abstract and the representational, the real and imagined, civilization and wilderness, the work expresses the transitory beauty of the natural world and a universal sense of loss. Conceived by Chris Jonas, Garden features the San Francisco-based Del Sol String Quartet, one of today's most adventurous and accomplished musical ensembles, projected into an environment consisting of layers of video screens.
