The Storm Cone Portsmouth Artist and Curator Talk

Award winning visual artist Laura Daly and curator Lindsay Taylor (University of Salford Art Collection) will discuss the making of The Storm Cone, an artwork by Daly that combines augmented reality technology with the real world in a breath-taking experience.

The Storm Cone charts a story of loss, celebration, human strength and fragility. It is a journey through music and sound that considers our relationship with the past, while charting the fading away of a brass band during the interwar years (1918 – 1939). Park visitors can move inside the ‘skeleton’ of a traditional bandstand (via their personal devices), while listening to original brass music by Lucy Pankhurst and eight interrelated sound works by Daly – unearthing their park’s lost bandstand and its buried past.

This beautiful artwork pushes the capabilities of geolocative and AR technologies and combines a wealth of expertise. It brings together visual art, music, sound, 3D and graphic design, augmented reality and gaming technology. The Storm Cone artist Laura Daly and commissioning curator Lindsay Tayor will talk about how the project was made, its relationship to Daly’s wider practice and future ambitions for the artwork.
