See The Light

More than Human by Tom Dale promises an immersive, ‘soft-cinema lounge experience’ combining visuals and electronic sound across dual screens to create a sensory environment.

The installation invites visitors to lie-back beneath a suspended screen and look up, to explore intelligence as something shared and distributed across living systems (plants, animals, fungi, ecosystems, and technologies) rather than as something that belongs only to humans or machines.

More than Human is an evolving new concept by Tom Dale Company with The Light Surgeons and Chronic Insanity Theatre.

Surge: Open Air also by Tom Dale Company invites audiences to experience the pulse of the future, together, under open skies.

An electrifying solo performance draws audiences thrillingly close to the action. Surrounded by sound and light, a living digital landscape is created, where dance, projection, and music collide.

This groundbreaking work fuses live vocals, mesmerising movement, and cutting-edge projection resulting in an unforgettable performance outdoors. Audiences feel totally immersed and often leave the show feeling like they have ‘never seen anything like it before’.

Created by Tom Dale, Ital Tek, Jemima Brown and Vent Media.

A beautiful and emotional sound and light sculpture that audiences can walk in and around. Made from Sheffield-sourced Ash trees which have been felled due to Ash dieback [when a tree begins to die due to disease or an unfavourable environment], visitors are invited to walk through its branches and be seated while bathing in its light, as Eleanor Hooper and Kate Griffin’s sound composition takes you through ‘sonic memories’ of the tree.

The original accompanying sound composition can be heard and if you like bought on bandcamp.

Sunshine On the Fallen Tree was commissioned for Wentworth Woodhouse’s Chapel for We Wonder Noir in Winter 21/22 and has toured extensively both indoors and outdoors since then.

Light / Leaves by Grimsby-based Let There be Light Studio comes in the form of three, captivating, large-scale leaf sculptures – Oak, Alder and Ash.

The work is designed to draw attention to common British tree species that we often take for granted but that have over time become endangered largely due to human impact.

Chris McClean’s Migratory Light (to be hosted inside the Minster) is an original walk-through artwork that transforms bird migration into moving light.

Migratory Light traces the seasonal movements of birds that pass through our region, translating flight and rhythm into coloured streams that flow around and above visitors.

Audiences can choose to view or interact with the behaviour of the light.

The bird sounds heard as part of this installation are field recordings of the Eurasian curlew by Merlyn Driver. Merlyn’s multi-artist album Simmerdim: Curlew Sounds was released in 2022 in partnership with the RSPB to raise funds for curlew conservation.

Resonant Pulse by Lucy Mager is a multi-channel sonic installation that brings to life the sounds of Cleethorpes beach to create an interactive and meditative experience.

Sound speakers will be arranged in a circle, facing inward, inviting the audience to stand or move within.
