UVA — Synchronicity
Experience the most immersive show in London right now. Pioneering art collective UVA's largest ever exhibition, Synchronicity transforms the subterranean spaces of 180 Studios with incredible light, sound and kinetic works that challenge our perception of reality.
Commissioned and produced by 180 Studios, Synchronicity features eight large-scale experiential works, including brand-new collaborations with Robert del Naja of Massive Attack, choreographer Dana Gingras and renowned bioacoustician Bernie Krause, with whom UVA previously collaborated on the mesmerising The Great Animal Orchestra.Taking its title from the works of Carl Jung, Synchronicity refers to meaningful coincidences that cannot be causally linked or adequately explained by scientific rationality alone. In UVA’s work, inexplicable natural phenomena are often made manifest — the elasticity of time, the relationship between colour and sound frequencies, the mathematical precision of celestial orbits, and chaos theory. UVA has helped define a generation of media artists working with light, space, sound and code for the last 20 years, creating dynamic experiences and atmospheric performances that envelop the viewer through the interplay of light and shadow. Under the direction of British artist Matt Clark, UVA’s multimedia practice investigates the nature of perception and cognition, reflecting the ways we attempt to understand and make sense of the world, and our place within it.
