About
This summer NOW Gallery is proud to present Routine, a new audio visual installation by London-based artist Ben Cullen Williams and self described “hard to place” multidisciplinary artist GAIKA, which explores the relationship between humans and the stark city systems in which we live.
Taking place in the newly opened Design District in Greenwich Peninsula, Routine will be presented in L-ISA, a groundbreaking spatial audio technology by L-Acoustics.
Routine asks: What are cities without people? How are people influenced by their environment, and vice versa? How can we make a humane system within cities in which we can exist sustainably? Humanity and the urban environment are innately interconnected, but there is conflict within that shared dependency: what is essential for...Read More

This summer NOW Gallery is proud to present Routine, a new audio visual installation by London-based artist Ben Cullen Williams and self described “hard to place” multidisciplinary artist GAIKA, which explores the relationship between humans and the stark city systems in which we live.
Taking place in the newly opened Design District in Greenwich Peninsula, Routine will be presented in L-ISA, a groundbreaking spatial audio technology by L-Acoustics.
Routine asks: What are cities without people? How are people influenced by their environment, and vice versa? How can we make a humane system within cities in which we can exist sustainably? Humanity and the urban environment are innately interconnected, but there is conflict within that shared dependency: what is essential for the community can be dystopian to the individual.
Routine will place the viewer in a generative space that continually evolves as it explores these ideas. A multi-channel film – captured via drone, 8mm and digital, will juxtapose stark portraits of people in isolation against cluttered and uncompromising cityscapes. A custom built sound instrument will interact with the viewer as they move through the installation, activating a feedback loop that continuously adapts to people, feeding sounds generated in the space back into the environment, creating a score in real-time.
Working in partnership with audio-tech innovators L-Acoustics, Williams and GAIKA will bring the viewer inside the music in three-dimensional, ultra-high resolution sound through their L-ISA immersive technology, which creates hyperreal spatial audio.
