About
Kit Webster contorts sound light and form into hybridised multidimensional environments and sculptures that transport viewers, precipitating abstract states of perception.
His audiovisual compositions shift across visual, sonic and sculptural mediums, illustrating a deconstruction of materiality. This study and interplay across canvases has allowed for the invention of entirely new forms of multidimensional and immersive presentation.
His works predominantly feature 3D projection-mapping, laser and LED illuminations synchronised with musical composition, shaping a fusion of light and sound through rhythm, colour and geometry, illustrating a deconstruction of time and materiality. This mode of experimentation has led to exhibition of his works in festivals, gallery exhibitions, concerts and commercial projects throughout the world.
By combining art and design with technology in this way, Webster looks to invent and define a new audiovisual aesthetic. One that is informed by the ever-increasing potential of advanced technologies and ideas that push the boundaries of new media and experience.
