Cryptic Nights presents Colour Deaf VisualArt
This month’s Cryptic Nights showcases the work of Colour Deaf, a cross-disciplinary collective who offer audiences an alternative experience in visual art and live music. Their latest installation takes the form of a pyramid that uses live camera feeds and trigger pads to capture a live feed of the audience that will be projected 360 degrees around the room.
