PARTICIPATION Unity Spire This unusual 6′ tall slim pyramidal object was recently discovered protruding through the Antarctic ice sheet, centered nearly on the Earth’s rotational pole axis. It appears to react to the presence of humans, with more simultaneous hands on it the more dramatic it’s acoustic & physical behavior. It’s unusual texture and difficulty […]

PARTICIPATION Seeds Above, Seeds Below Unseen and unheard, the embryonic soil that wraps around a seed provides nourishment. Influenced by the heat and light from above the verdant veins sprout through the soil offering us a silent totem that shows an entity exists below our feet. As above, so below—a reflection dark and absent of […]

PARTICIPATION Nothing Resonates is a gripping menagerie of found sounds, layered with croaking frogs and straining air vents. It features mundane sounds like brushing one’s teeth and running water, which are sped-up and distorted to reflect an unrecognizable, inhospitable environment in the wake of dissociation. The piece drags-in listeners with a permeating feeling of a […]

PARTICIPATION The Guitar Chair is a unique instrument that resembles a chair and plays with guitar strings. Its visual aesthetic and functional usage challenges the boundary between functional objects and decorative art. The performance of this instrument exemplifies an activation of function while creating art with intuitive improvisation. Sophie Fan is an interdisciplinary artist based […]

PARTICIPATION Garden Ensamble Partnering with living plants, I create site-responsive stop-motion animations. At my local creek, I search for a plant that seems eager to collaborate. Once discovered, I gently guide its limbs with wire, moving image by image. I respond to its form, its timing, its wisdom. Once our pas de deux is complete, […]

PARTICIPATION Foco is a live deconstruction of an overwhelming mass of sound, video and image (“wall of media”) through movement and audience interaction. A live coder programs sound and visuals in real time, while a dancer modifies them using motion sensors. The audience can open seams in the wall of media using provided diy game-like […]

PARTICIPATION Ferm Bubbles This interactive sound installation takes its inspiration from the process of fermentation: the fizz and pops of bubbles created from yeasts breaking down complex carbohydrates in various substrates and how light can alter and slow the process. The installation invites attendees not just to observe fermentation but to also be in community […]

PARTICIPATION Spirit of the Vaquita allows the vaquita porpoise to speak directly to the listener. Although the vaquita’s voice is not audible to the human ear, scientists are able to record the voice of the vaquita porpoise through a method known as passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). The recordings are processed using software that makes the […]

PARTICIPATION Battlefront3 This project is a visceral response to the rise of uninspired AI-generated music, transforming frustration into an immersive act of creative destruction. By using Arduino-controlled solenoids to physically “trash” representations of terrible AI music on a piano, the installation reclaims the power of human expression. The chaotic interplay between mechanical precision and unpredictable […]
