Sharp Shooter by Matyou Galea is a sculptural situation that comes from research on the idea of a ‘sonic object’ - the creation of a three dimensional object out of sound. Digital 3D models are reconstructed in a stereo field, in which two channels are plotted against each other at 90 degrees in an x-y configuration, recreating a spatialised vector scope. Through changes in the relationship between the two channels (phase) the 3D model can be moved and rotated thus giving the illusion of a three dimensional object in space. Sharp Shooter looks at how these sonic objects can be engaged within physical space, and how they fit within a broader context of mass media.

The television, traditionally a one way communication system is converted into a two channel communication stream, a two-way conversation with the audience and its surrounding environment.

By pointing the gun at the television, the motion in 3D space, observed on the screen and also through changes in phase and direction in the stereo field, (experienced through the television's speakers) is controlled. Pointing the gun at the screen results into change in motion across 3 axis, corresponding to the motion in ‘physical space’ as initiated by the gun in the user’s hand. In a way the sculptural situation acts as a mirror with added depth, the motion on the screen and those initiated by the user are tethered, and feedback on each other with the resulting changes being determined by the previous changes and so on.

Sharp Shooter is in more ways than one, an open ended project and as such only exists as a proof of concept, a prototype that tests the technology. An other layer of content, meaning and relationships with the audience through the form of the sonic object displayed on the screen can add more depth and layers to the sculptural situation, and the next step for this project is to go beyond the neutrality of the imagery presented by the cube and the torus as demonstrated in the accompanying video clip. This is open for discussion with the curator(s)/artistic director(s).
