Lincoln Center’s approach to accessibility mirrors our commitment to create performing arts spaces that are more inclusive of our audiences’ identities and access needs. We have centered accessibility in all aspects of the hall's design, not as an afterthought or add-on. We recognize that access needs must be integrated in the creative process, that the work on our stages reflects our differences and interconnectedness, and that we are creating a space where everyone feels welcome. A range of accommodations is provided for all performances, no request necessary. Click here to learn more.
If you have any questions or requests, contact us via email at [email protected] or by phone at 212-875-5375.
Ghost Variations at David Geffen Hall
Ghost Variations is a collaboration between Alexis Zerafa, creative technologist, and Sophie Kahn, digital artist and sculptor. Visualizing mental health and sound through a Snapchat augmented reality Lens and presented as part of the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center's season, the installation examines the relationship between the arts and our mental wellbeing. The primary subject of Ghost Variations is 19th century composer Robert Schumann, who, in the final years of his life at a psychiatric asylum, relied on the music of J.S. Bach as he navigated his deteriorating mental health. The busts of Schumann, Bach, and a range of contemporary models, are rendered via larger-than-life augmented reality sculptures. Kahn played Schumann's music under water, recorded the waveforms, and mapped them onto the monumental heads as a visual embodiment of the way that we listen to music. On Snapchat, guests can ‘look through the eyes’ of these figures, whose textures are further animated by ambient sound in the space.

About the Artists
About the Technology
Built with Snap’s Custom Location AR technology, these Lenses use computer vision for spatial awareness to allow visitors to view the experience from every angle. To make it fully immersive, audio reactive waves are placed under the AR sculptures to take in microphone input, ultimately affecting the amplitude of the waves based on volume and frequency of sound in the space. Opacity textures add transparency to the AR sculptures in the pattern of the waveforms in water, which were created by Kahn.
