Klax Vaults

Klax Vaults is a multimedia installation by Roy Werner & John Brumley – a simple hardrive attempting to run a number of operations simultaneously, ultimately confusing itself (misplacing variables, misdirecting outputs) and creating a counterintuitive series of feedback loops & recursion. Through a system of custom software rendering 8 channels of audio and 3 of video, Klax Vaults immerses its audience in a mutable environment of digital windows looking on digital windows, a view into the speculative inner-workings of proprietary software.

Originally commissioned and exhibited by Harvestworks (NYC) in July 2017, the piece ran as both an autonomous generative system for the duration of its installation & as a manipulatable interface for live performance during the opening reception. Later exhibited as part of the Slovenian Multimedia Arts Festival in September 2017.
