Untied / United is a multi-speaker installation that evokes the unconscious quality of everyday life and memories. Elastic threads strung across the space will trigger sound when touched by visitors.The sounds will transform into a mix that is abstract yet at once familiar. Both fragile and tenacious, the visual elements in the room work in unison with the sound-scape to evoke qualities encountered in both casual and intimate relationships.
Beth Bradfish, composer/sound artist, and Connie Noyes, multi-disciplinary artist, in collaboration the Harvestworks TEAM, use micro technologies to create this interactive installation. Visual elements in the room work in unison with the soundscape to evoke both the fragility and resilience of close relationships. Elastic threads create a web-like pattern. Once the threads are touched, the relationship with the room begins. Sounds build and mix unpredictably depending on the density of the threads and how many people are interacting with them at any given time.
