“Looking Up” invites us to look up, above the streets and buildings of Regina to the living sky, the openness of outer space, and into the great unknowns of the future, and the unconscious. “Looking up” is hopeful, and reverent of nature. “Looking Up” was
made with Touchdesigner, and is an exploration of new technology and generative media as tools for human expression. “Looking Up” is a collaboration between visual artist Allan Dotson playing live to the music of Ryan Hill (@guidewire). “Looking Up” is
play between these two artists and the audio-reactive software creating something entirely new and unknown.
