“Drip.. Drip… Drip….” at soundpedro 2020
My video/sound/sculpture “Drip.. Drip… Drip… is included in virtual soundpedro 2020.
The work incorporates the sounds of glacial melting, calving, and climate change, creating visual sounds within a sculpture. There will be surround sound for the viewer to hear this interpretation while looking at the spotlit wall sculpture. The sounds are excerpts from the “Nothing to Sea Hear” my project from last year’s soundpedro to express visual sounds, to be heard with the eyes of the viewer!
