'Technology is not always as alienating as it seems. It’s a question to what ends you put your artistic practice', such is Douglas Quin's introduction of Paradise, a gestural instrument that one can play by moving through the space. The instrument consists of 25 loud speakers and motion trackers that trigger sounds as people move through the venue where the instrument is installed. This way, the public has an opportunity to play with a bank of thousands of sounds that don’t belong together in the natural world, but come together in the virtual paradise created by Douglas Quin and Lorne Convington who are inviting us to make art together.
