Rebecca Adorno | Anis Haron
Fri – Sun, Oct 22 – 24, 2010, noon to 6pm.
OPENING RECEPTION: Fri, Oct 22, 2010, 6 – 9pm
In Rebecca Adorno’s Instrument for Unsent Letters, letters from strangers are collected through a blog where people write entries dedicated to someone in an anonymous way. They are then published in the form of audio clips as part of the installation. The random-automatized plucking of custom-made string instruments, by servomotors, controls the play back of the narrations.
Anis Haron will present Audio palimpsest, an interactive sound-based installation that explores applications of indeterminacy and randomness in an interactive platform. Based on a reconfigured cassette recorder, the installation allows multi point interaction by synthesizing data inputs collectively.
