GLASGOW landmarks will be brought to life through a festival of visual sonic art.

Sonica Festival, which runs for 10-days will see landmarks including the Glasgow Science Centre, Kelvingrove bandstand, the Titan Crane, St Enoch Centre and Glasgow University Memorial Chapel transformed by artists from around the world.

Members of the public are being invited to interact in the variety of musical visual creations that will be popping up throughout the city.

Kicking off the festival, from October 26 to 29, The Megaphone Project by Australian artists Flynn and Humphrey will fill Glasgow Science Centre and the Kelvingrove Park bandstand with bright red megaphones of different shapes and sizes.

Visitors are encouraged to use their voices through them to create a chorus of sound.

The iconic Titan Crane will be transformed into a musical instrument by Scottish artist Michael Begg who has designed the piece so that the voice of the wind will sing around the wheelhouse at the top of the crane.

A 15-minute opera, Viola, running on November 4 and 5, will place its audience in the window of a shop in the St Enoch Centre and turn the whole outside world into a stage.

Artists Floex and Initi will bring the interior of Glasgow University Memorial Chapel to life through a part video game, part holographic display, part giant musical.

Audiences hold laser pointers in their hand and point them at parts of the architecture to make them spring to life to open the hidden architectural details of one of Glasgow’s great buildings in a hi-tech way.

Glasgow Science Centre’s Planetarium will play host to a triple bill of full dome live audio visual performances including a sensory experience that will challenge the viewer’s sense of space and time.

The full programme includes forty international artists from twelve countries across five continents, with 13 UK premieres, four world premieres.

There will be eight installations from award winning Glasgow-based art house Cryptic.

Today’s most imaginative innovative artists will be showcased including the creative Glasgow talent of tomorrow.

Cryptic’s Artistic Director Cathie Boyd said “We’re delighted to announce the full programme for Sonica 2017. It’s a testament to the profile of the festival that it’s been chosen to host the opening of AquaSonic’s world tour and Dear Esther Live’s UK tour. We encourage everyone from Glasgow to come experience the best in sonic visual art from across the world right on their doorstep - whether it’s experiencing a blockbusting live show or popping along to St Enoch’s Centre or Kelvingrove Park to see a familiar public space in a whole new light.”
