Silvano: A surreal interactive immersive audio visual performance and installation by Augustine Leudar.
The new interactive performance installation Silvano was created by Augustine Leudar in the Lagunas community in Loreto in the Amazon of Peru, an area he has lived on and off since 2001. As well as exploring the ultrasonic soundscape of the rainforest, the work contains interactive sonic and visual elements including the use of real time Stable Diffusion. This performance event allows the audience able to interact with Silvano for as little or as long as they desire.

Augustine Leudar is a multidisciplinary audio-visual artist who specialises in spatial audio and interactive 3D sound. He has pioneered many new techniques in interactive 3D audio, micro spatialisation, archeoacoustics and BioArt. He creates 3D sound art, immersive installations , sonic illusions and interactive hallucinations that surprise, mislead, and delight audiences. Leudar’s exhibitions have spanned the globe, featuring notable venues like the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, The National Gallery, The Rudolfinum and Museo Larco, and he has represented the UK through collaborations with the British Council and various embassies in Latin America and Europe.
Leudar’s work often intersects with diverse disciplines and influences such as sculpture, 3D printing, theatre, mythology, and painting, and is characterised by a surreal sense of humour. His work is often site-specific, creating fluid interactive spatial sound art and design on a huge scale and often with many acres being covered with immersive sound. Leudar creates new worlds and augmented realities through hidden speakers and projectors, concealed microphones, sensor tracking technologies, and mischievous intent. This enables turning any space into anywhere, from the smallest nook to entire woodland. He has also broken new ground in the field of BioArt, integrating electrical signalling in forests and the mycorrhizal network with sound and light installations allowing the paths taken by signals between trees in a forest to be audible.
