GOWANUS: Over/Under-Water presented by New Adventures in Sound Art - Opening Reception
Part of the Deep Wireless Festival of Radio and Transmission Art.
A study of the endangered soundscape of the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, NY. Housed within an instrument called a Phonoscope, the installation combines binaural under-water and over-water sound recordings with stereoscopic images to create a heightened audio-visual experience for the viewer/listener that begs a closer listening to his/her everyday environment.
Still Motions Exhibition (Part of Contact Photography Festival 09) - Opening Reception
Still Motions traces the tension between the still and the moving image, presenting works that critique the logic of traditional photography via its successor media, film and video. Each work contains a degree of stillness that is in some way destabilized to disrupt the notion of a photograph as a suspended moment in time. The interaction of the three media allow for hybrid forms of moving images to emerge, generating the uncanny within the familiar while adding a sensorial even visceral dimension to our appreciation of the still image.
