The Hum 2017

The Hum by Flexer & Sandiland. A black and white image of a pedestrian scene looking down from above. A man stands at the centre listening to headphones. A blur of figures move around him.

The Hum is a reflection and meditation on our everyday interactions within the city.

Half cinema, half reality, the piece weaves together visuals of your location with an evocative soundtrack through your smartphone.
