'Waiting Space’ is an audio/visual project, and alias of musician & artist, Chris Falconer, based in Waterford, Ireland. In both his musical & visual output, his work includes themes of ‘genius loci’ (‘spirit of place’), intertextuality/intermediality, media-manipulation, & d.i.y. possibilities of domestically-available advanced technologies. The themes are informed by his qualifications in Art & Architectural History, Graphic Design, Digital Media, and Data Analytics.
In most instances, his works begins as musical compositions (varying from cinematic neoclassical, to textural electronic pieces) which are then ‘complemented’ by visuals he creates in response (animations, motion graphics, travel footage, & short films).
Waiting Space pieces have been commissioned by RTÉ (Irish public service broadcaster); Luan Gallery; and Garter Lane Arts Centre - & the piece 'Cocoon' was exhibited at Lismore Castle Arts (2020), and was 'Officially Selected' for the Waterford Film Festival (2022).
