Behind the scenes: Yearning for the Infinite at the Barbican

Listen here:

Filmed at the Barbican on 28 September 2019 - the first performance of Yearning for the Infinite.

Yearning for the Infinite is Max Cooper’s most expansive project to date - an audio/visual rendering of our obsession with the unobtainable.

Presented as both an album scored to a visual story and a mind-blowing immersive audio/visual live show, Yearning for the Infinite was borne out of a commission from The Barbican, the arts and learning institution dedicated to pushing boundaries.

Using vast new visualisations of the infinite drawn from the history of its appearances in the arts and sciences, alongside abstracted imagery of endless human pursuit, the link between human nature and the unbounded is explored.
