This
piece was mounted for a sound-art group show in Brooklyn at the Williamsburg
Art & Historical Society that Brian Connelly organized called
Just
What Do You Think Youre Doing, Dave? The piece consits of
a bare speaker wired to a piece of the physical gallery, in this case
a steam radiator. The tape loop plays a 5 second hi volume burst of
sound every 6 minutes. Otherwise the piece remains silent.
The
effect in the gallery space was of this brief extreme assault of sound
for five seconds, which would then disappear. It would surprise viewers
in this silent gallery spacecoming out of nowhere, making this sonic
statement, and then going into a long silence again. The piece had a sort
of science fiction aspect for me, a cool dark aurainhabiting the
space but revealing itself only rarely.
