site-variable kinetic sound installation
dimensions: variable
variable, including: piano strings, mechanical saltwater dimmer, plywood transducer table, electromagnetic pickups, stepper motor actuated light dimmer, urine, ladder, found objects, styrofoam, hardware, electromagnetic coils, custom circuits, drums
Site specific eighth variation of Instrumentation. In the main gallery space overhead HVAC conduits and several found object assemblies became loudspeakers and sound resonators. The gallery kitchen, front window vitrine and reading room (not shown), peripheral spaces not ordinarily used for exhibition, were occupied by ensembles of mechanical performers, whose sound was amplified and mixed in the main space.

research project
IO (formerly Irrational Orchestration) is a series of works developed broadly as schematic guidelines for improvised installations, rather than pre-determined finished artwork. Electromagnetism, intuitive/ad hoc architectural structures, absurdist extensions of building infrastructural systems (HVAC, electrical), hardware neural networks.

site-variable kinetic sound installation
Light, electromagnetism and resonance figure centrally in Instrumentation, a sprawling kinetic sound installation in which these immaterial phenomena are manipulated by expressly material means. Exhibited internationally as a range of site-specific installations.
