"Privacy, he said, was a very valuable thing. Everyone wanted a place where they could be alone occasionally.”
 George Orwell, 1984

 

The Electric Arts Alliance of Atlanta (EAAA) in conjunction with the Eyedrum Art Gallery and Georgia State University presented L’Objet Sonore  an exhibition of visually and aurally striking Sound Objects ranging from kinetic sculpture to installation, some of which react to the environment or the occasional performer, all created by a host of local, national, and international artists from Atlanta, Boston, New York, Quebec, England and France.

 

Britain has the largest closed circuit television network in the world – approximately 1 camera per 25 people. People are under constant observation, during private telephone call, private emails or private conversations. This work looks at how we readily accept and positively embrace these instructions. 
 

 

A comfort zone is created using expanding foam, which kills the outside noise and allows you to become absorbed within the sounds that are transmitted into the cube. But from the outside the piece has a menacing appearance working with the notion that, once you are inside a system, you become unaware of its potential dangers.
