In this piece I wanted to effect you both physically as well as psychologically, working with your own thoughts and memories. I aim to project images into the mind, through the broadcast of sounds. Giving you a highly personal perspective on the piece, providing an everlasting memory from something that is a fleeting gesture.

 

There are two areas in this piece, firstly the stage which had giant subwoofers placed under it so that when you walked upon it the vibrations from the sounds would have a physical effect on your whole body. Not just your eyes and ears, the art would in fact move you.

 

Then there was the second part, I had placed microphones all around the gallery, in rooms separate to my own. these sounds would be projected into my space and relayed to the listeners through speakers that were placed inside the white screen that hangs above the stage, proving an opportunity for the listener to project their own images coming out from the screen.
