AUDIO-SPOTLIGHT | |||
![]() |
|||
Three Audiospotlight-devices which allow to focus and direct sound on specific spaces are installed parallel in a public place (entrance situation, busstop etc.) Each device contains one track of narrative: The installation texts are delivered
daily from CNN US/Europe/Asia every day the text in the present-track is updated, the text of the day before goes to the past track, the former past track goes into a headline database which provides simultaniously a randomized shuffle of headlines for the historical track, an ongoing cycle.

DESCRIPTION Referring to Katherine Hayles' book
'Writing Machines' this installation is about Multiple reading paths are generated
by people moving through this space, generating their own individual
'story'. The installation would force people to stop and listen in order
to hear the original headlines, while moving throug the space the combination
of several news-headlines destroys the original meaning, but creates
a familiar soundscape out of single words, expressions and create seemingly
'real' messages. |

SOUNDSTICKER | |||

This sound project operates with the SOUNDSTICKER, a very cheap (4 USD) mini mpeg-player device playing up to 15 minutes sound. In this piece the specific spacial distribution of 5 devices is the main idea. Each device is playing synchronized fragments of a sound which are restored and resampled by passing people. |
