Owing to the afro-futurist's influences and space-travelling nature of Wayne Snow’s work - both within one's self and beyond our planet’s boundaries - the space sits underneath a translucent membrane that serves as a connective tissue between in- and outside. It can shape- and colourshift depending on the activity and atmosphere of what is happening within.
Translated to a stage-design this would see the Snow Dome becoming a surface for projections that allows the artist to perform his music in the intended manner: a collapsing together of audio and visual.
And in its third and final iteration, the project is envisioned as a building in Warri, Nigeria, Wayne Snow’s place of birth. Featuring the same curvilinear shape, but built out of natural, local materials, the physical Snow Dome would echo contextual modes of buildings, yet sit like an alien spacecraft in the landscape. Home to a music studio, cultural exchange studio and artist residency it would thus speak to imagining worlds beyond the one we know today. Though, as of yet a utopian dream, the wish to create a physical Snow Dome, informs the aforementioned aspects of the project, which are already in the process of being implemented.
