Microphone, XLR cable, pre-amplifier, radio transmitter/receivers.

Site-responsive project exploring behaviour and awareness in public spaces.

^{Positioned within two common areas of an urban low-rise building, this work is first encountered through observation or interaction with a conspicuously positioned microphone in the foyer. Sounds are picked up at the entrance to the stairwell. They are broadcast into the surrounding environment using a microFM transmitter. In a hallway on the top level of the building, battery powered radio receivers are attached to window panes. In this second space, the sounds of foyer are made audible in real-time.}

Variable Frequencies
Copper cable, radio transmitter/receivers.

^{Cable sculptures acting as antennas to broadcast sonic transmissions over a short-range radio network.}
^{In this work, variable lengths and configurations of thin copper cabling are installed within a gallery space to form functional radio antennas. Audio recordings are broadcast and distributed by the structures, then received by nearby portable radio receivers, positioned discreetly behind wall-mounted frames. Interference from the surrounding environment creates an unstable and shifting connection to the signal.}

Relative Distance
Mirror, webcam, flat screen TV, Max/MSP software.

Installation reflecting on disembodiment of self,
space and place.

^{An exterior webcam is connected to a TV positioned inside a gallery space. Sound from the live feed can be heard before video can be seen, which in itself, is framed with a distorted reflection of the surrounding room. Movement picked up by the webcam triggers synthetic sounds that augment the soundscape of the built urban environment.}

Sound + Signal

XLR cable, gaffer tape, sine oscillator, loudspeakers.

Inside a room engulfed by sine tones from multiple loudspeakers, carefully positioned audio cables form circles to show where standing waves create auditory zones of loudness and quietness.
