The light installation Second Sun uses imagination and technology to generate a re–imagined landscape inside the gallery. Using references from speculative science–fiction, the instal- lation operates as portal to a parallel new world, creating an alter narrative on our ecological future. Visitors are temporarily blinded by brightly illuminated fog when enter the space, finding a double sunset –or doppelganger sun– in the back that illuminates the whole scenario. For this installation, Gil has created an algorithmic interface that records natural soundscapes and frequencies from the internet, and transmits them to the gallery lively. These sensory data acts as a live score for the installation and creates a sort of in-between area where viewers are immersed in a nonlinear flow of sound events.
