ABOVE/BELOW is an audio-visual installation by artist Oscar Zabala exploring the use of technology to tap into the subconscious. The installation consists of a 7-foot LED display cube surrounded by Ambisonic 3D spatial sound. The experience takes viewers through an audio-visual symphony of hypnotic and meditative sequences that echo patterns in psychedelic and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

THE CUBE

7’ x 7’ LED DISPLAY CUBE
AMBISONIC SPATIALIZED 3D SOUND

The main room of the installation is an audio-visual experience displayed on a four panel LED display cube. The installation uses Ambisonics / Atmos audio to create a spatialized 3D aural experience. The LED panels display a hypnotic abstract film taking viewers through a sonic-visual journey from “above” to “below” and back.

PRINTS EXHIBIT

The gallery exhibit portion of the installation is a collection of ten of the artist's mixed mediums works on display.

The ‘Below’ portion of the installation is a collection of five framed prints. The series is a collection of A.I.
