White Noise x Hotwire~
Wednesday 9th (2.00-4.00pm) and Thursday 10th (8.00pm - 10.00pm) October 2024 in the Immersive Vision Theatre
You are invited to join Ronnie Deelen (White Noise) and Andy Prior (Hotwire~) for the first event of the Future Screen* initiative: an evening of audiovisual improvisation inspired by Stan Van Der Beek’s Movie-Drome. Imagine a ‘bring your own beamer (BYOB)’ event with an emphasis on sound (as well as image), based in University of Plymouth’s Immersive Vision Theatre. Bring raw materials – (moving or still) images, sounds or sound making tools, laptops and bluetooth speakers if you have them.
On Wednesday afternoon we will prepare some material, jam together, and orchestrate the result. On Thursday, invite friends, family (bring yer granny!), neighbours, politicians, and enemies to see and hear the results.
Ronnie Deelen’s (White Noise) artistic practice revolves around the exploration of synthesis, with a particular emphasis on crafting imaginative soundscapes. In his animation work, he delves into the relationship between audio and visual elements, experimenting with speculative design and soundscapes.
Additionally, his recent drawing projects have focused on the realm of speculative biology, drawing connections between this field and historical scientific explorations.
His biggest recent achievement is a sound art sculpture presented in China, consisting of a horn measuring 10 meters in length and 3 meters in height at its tallest point, symbolizing change and connection. Listening through the horn offers a fresh perspective, revealing the beauty of everyday sounds. Additionally, it serves as a communication tool, extending the reach of human voices and enriching the park’s sonic landscape.
Alongside his artistic pursuits, Ronnie is also the founder of “White Noise” at the Royal College of Art. Starting out as a monthly event, it transformed into an independent nomadic event and record label that provides a platform open to anyone to showcase and experience sound experiments.
Ronnie is also a passionate educator with over 9 years of experience in higher education. His interest in education was born from a love for DIY synth electronics, the difficulties faced with self-learning, and the drive to share his knowledge.
