Sound is the dominant component of this work. Collected social noises flowing over a public space meant to allow a certain degree of introversion and solitude [bench]. For the past several weeks, I've been performing a certain degree of surveillance... collecting a wide variety of public and social noises from places such as: Mall of America, restaurants, grocery store, and amusement park. I am interested in the way in which individuals interact with one another in various public spaces.
In addition to exploring these various social & public noises, I am also working through various sculptural arrangements for the installation. I've been using a variety of collected windows, playing around with lines of sight, placement, and gesture. There is still something lacking in this arrangement. I'm going to print some imagery on mylar to adhere to some of the window glass. I will also be experimenting with materials to create visual distortion. More work. Much more.

Before half way through, there's an interactive sound experiment you might find interesting.
Good luck. Look forward to the evolution of your work.
