Nelson Smith

Nelson Smith for sound work on “Human Radiation,” a performance piece that occurs within a self-contained installation. The work explores the idea of human mental energy. Objects which include small appliances and house objects are used as mediums for communication or generating energy. In performance, the performer interacts with the objects and speaks/intones texts that are integrated with an electronic sound/music score as well as with audio samples that emerge from the environment itself. The installation/performance piece will be shown at The Theater at Marygrove College, Detroit, and at the Performance Network in Ann Arbor in fall 1996.
