Aeolus is an investigation into acoustics, wind and architecture. Currently in development one output from the research will be a specially designed wind pavillion, an architectural space that will resonate and sing with the wind.
An interactive installation designed to direct the contents of participant's dreams as they sleep over night in the gallery.

The retinal after-image installation Jerram created after 'Retinal Memory Volume'. Commissioned by Site Gallery in 2001 for an exhibition called 'Everything is Number.'
Currently in development, this architectural intervention is designed to help promote a sense of ownership of the new theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. The public are invited to create artwork for a hidden exhibition that is literally embedded into the fabric of in the building.
The plant orchestra amplifies the imperceptible sound waves of 20 plants and gives the public an opportunity to conduct this newly assembled orchestra.
Described as a classic in its field 'Retinal Memory Volume' is an emmersive installation artwork that creates virtual objects within a viewer, using a patented retinal after-image process. Jerram's most successful installation the artwork has been continually touring the world since its creation back in 1997.
In an abandoned underground mail tunnel in Birmingham, working with composer Dan Jones, Luke Jerram creates a series of sound and light based artworks inspired by the properties of the tunnel and it's history. The industrial sounds of a sorting office were recorded by sending dictaphones through the post on 'voice activated record'.
Tunnel Vision was a fusion of architecture, candlelight, surround sound and the visiting public. A vast array of speakers were mounted in the ceiling of the 8m high tunnel, lit each night by over 500 candles.
