KIMA: Voice draws on Analema Group’s focus on the power of the human voice. The outcome of a 10-year-long research into visual sound, KIMA: Voice touches on the ability of the human voice to facilitate social connectedness, and to overcome boundaries. The idea of the new project KIMA: Voice by Analema Group is to invite the audience to bring their voices and messages into the space through a collaborative process. The project draws on the growing discourse of social, political, physical and spiritual power of voice in the arts, and proposes an immersive hands-on experience of creating a vocal sonic composition supported by an artistic visual exploration into the qualities of sound and the human voice.
KIMA: Voice is a participatory art piece that connects the audience to their own voice. The audience explores harmonies between voices as geometric sound installation and in visual form. Analema Group will present their research into relationships between sound and vision, mathematics and sound, and the voice and harmonies, to connect between social groups, diverse communities and social strata. KIMA: Voice invites the audience to co-create a live sound and a visual composition. Inspired by geometry and mathematics embedded in the nature of sound, KIMA: Voice creates a visual representation of sound through geometric harmonies and the Fibonacci sequence. Learning about the nature of their voices through interaction, the audience’s ‘vocal signatures’ are analysed for harmonious interactions between one another. KIMA: Voice is an immersive sonic and visual tuner, an interface for meaningful vocal interplay, that reveals hidden properties of sound and the human voice. As a mesmerising Gesamtkunstwerk, the piece combines the mathematics of sound with the beauty of harmonic interactions by the audience.

Partnering with RNIB Northern Ireland, the arts collective Analema Group presents three new artworks that bring the National Gallery’s collection to life.
An immersive multi-sensory artworks transform three paintings - Van Eyck’s The Arnolfini Portrait, Monet’s Water Lilies, Setting Sun and Van Gogh’s Wheatfield, with Cypresses into 360 degree spatial experiences available on YouTube and the National Gallery website.
Now forming part of an AHRC funded research project - p_ART_icipate research we worked with RNIB on making this artwork accessible for online audiences including the RNIB community and those with diverse degrees of sight loss. Translating colours into spatial sounds, these immersive artworks can be experienced at home.
Created during the UK lockdown, these three virtual artworks opened the National Gallery’s paintings up to the public, when the gallery was closed to the public for the first time in over 75 years. Inspired by Jan Van Eyck’s ‘Arnolfini Portrait’, Monet’s ‘Water Lilies, Setting Sun’ and Van Gogh’s ‘Wheatfield with Cypresses’, the art collective Analema Group invite you to explore colour palettes on YouTube via your iPhone or Android as a multi-dimensional 3D sound and video experience. KIMA Colour was created by the Analema Group at National Gallery X in 2020, and now forms part of the p_ART_icipate research project. www.participateresarch.co.uk
