Brought to you by VMFA's immersive art series REWIND<< Fast/Forward and created by interdisciplinary artist Ezra Masch, VOLUMES is an immersive light installation activated by sound. Masch's installation at VMFA will feature locally based percussive artists from a variety of genres. Inspired by son et lumière (sound-and-light art events that date back to the early 1700s) Masch, now based in Austin, Texas, has traveled extensively presenting VOLUMES, an installation that sits at the broad intersections of synesthesia, architecture and technology.   
  
Now in its 10th iteration, VOLUMES will transform the Reynold's Lecture Hall into a site-specific light installation activated by live percussive sound. Participating musicians will explore the connection between sound, light, technology, and space through live performance and Masch’s state-of-the-art drum software system.
