sensible environments
site specific interactive sound installations


 

Often With

Responding to the gallery's role as a thoroughfare joining private and public spaces, Often With creates surreal ambiguities between indoors and out, shaped by its awareness of viewers and of itself.

Often With - site-specific sound installation
White speaker wire, speakers, sound, audio sensing

After With

After With transforms a two-story interior gallery, rendering the interior transparent to exterior sound while dissimulating the view to the outside. The illusion of changing exterior light conditions is created with projections of light and shadow responding to sound in the space.

After With - site-specific sound/light installation
Paper, sound, video projection, audio sensing
2006, Hiestand Galleries, Miami University (Oxford, Ohio)
International Digital Media and Arts Association conference

Ochre With

Ochre With coinhabits a large interior space with other sound sources: noises, music, sound pieces, visitors... A viewer who enters the center of a suspended trapezoidal speaker array hears the flocking of birds hybridized with the ringing of metalic objects.

Open

Open features live sound from passing cars re-spatialized inside a long, vaulted cellar space. The cars awaken flocks of bell-like sounds that follow them through the space, along with the sounds of rustling paper contributed by a performer. A generative drawing on the far wall builds up traces of the event.

Spulwurmbruchstück / Roundworm Piece

Sonification of DNA from the roundworm C. elegans. Codons (3-letter DNA "words" that code for amino acids) are heard as sound objects emanating from a tin can on a pedestal. The sound is created in real time using a DNA sequence as input. An accompanying video displays a visualization of the amino acids.
