Loc-reverb develops Colsons themes of location and memory, concerns seen in an earlier CD-ROM "Mindtracker". Loc-reverb blends photography and moving elements to portray the artists interrogation of locations, in particular London. It presents the viewer with the changing dynamics of sight, trapping the eye, delaying comprehension and suspending perception so that the sense of space in the urban landscape is uncertain. Moving elements move in response to a track-ball.
Colson's Loc-reverb is presented as Site Soundings - Digital Terrains together with Jeremy Gardiner's Purbeck Light Years and Dennis Leigh's Cathedral Oceans. Each artefact is an interactive projection, a temporal arena with surround sound. This system of interaction evokes a calm, receptive state of mind. In each case the spectator inhabits a different virtual world where images and objects co-exist in an imaginary space.
