ART
Come on an ethereal and atmospheric journey into Cloudland Chill Space and immerse yourself in a panoramic multi-sensory experience. Revisit the magic of cloud gazing, in a dreamscape of luminescent clouds and ambients. Rest, chat and take a moment to reflect with friends while you escape into an imagined world of sounds, sights and senses.
In this installation, nature, technology and sound collide. Intermittently throughout the weekend Cloudland’s immersive sound and light show will be played within the space. In collaboration with sound artist and music therapist Katerina Stathis, Cloudland’s immersive sound and light installation invites you to lie down and relax as your imagination crescendos to kaleidoscopic sound and light. Be transported through the clouds as you explore, reflect and wonder.

SPENCER ROSE
Spencer is a generative artist who explores life through the lens of cellular automata. His work is rooted in fundamental elements of existence, which evolve into complex and immersive realms. Spencer uses interactive simulations to create projection artworks that are simple and aesthetically pleasing, but also raise big philosophical questions.
In his latest work, "No Data," he explores the impact of changing abstract forms and their connection to music, using algorithmic chaos and improvisation to control millions of particles. The resulting forms emergently mimic aspects of organic life, revealing the common roots between the simulation and real life.

MARK PASCAL
Marc Pascal sees his work and play with lasers as colour therapy to guide dancers through the immersive experience of the senses. The uplifting and interactive real time colour saturated light of the lasers serves as an ever changing visual guide through the darkness.
In a playful interaction with the DJ, Marc creates a unique, spontaneous atmosphere, creating positive revelations for all dance floor participants. The ephemeral light, intuitively played, creates lasting echoes of memories.

Eaao creates artworks that explore the intersection of light, color, and form. Eaao's current practice centers on capturing the reflections of light on the surface of water, using the interplay of rippling patterns and shimmering tones to abstract the subject and create a sense of movement and dynamism.
Eaao's intention is to showcase the contemporary color palettes and aesthetics that can be found in nature, using the camera as a tool to highlight the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
Through their work, Eaao demonstrates that humanity is not removed from nature, but rather works within its architecture, and that contemporary aesthetics can be found in the natural world as we work within its palette.
