The objects themselves are fully themselves, polished metal or wood painted black, and assuming pride of place. There are no hidden speakers in this exhibition. For an encounter seemingly predicated on the experience of sound, the objects themselves invite close inspection with their subtle assymetries and refusal of parallelism, no two sides the same.
Bracket the categories of meta-composition or performance. Mise-en-scène and dramaturgy seem more to the point but still beholden to the language of theater, film, and installation practice that privileges objects. Please write your answer on a slip of paper and deposit it in the box. Please discuss with your neighbor.
The sound materials, if you must? Until the membrane or horn of the speakers are activated, it’s data. The source is generated via software, engages electronic circuitry, and the speakers then transfer energy to the medium of air, with unique results in a sound environment ever in flux.
