a participative sound art installation by Gary Warner
video documentation here - vimeo.com/102699158
Gallery visitors are invited to sit, in pairs, to hold and move the object in their hands.
Sounds are generated within the object - rolling, bumping, random sequences of resonant metallic tones.
The object is an instrument producing musical uncertainty.
A curious tension arises between the pair as they negotiate how to make sounds together - each can feel the
others movement, but neither can be sure how any movement relates to a particular sound. Cooperate, compete? Lead, follow? Master, wander? Engage, abandon? It seems impossible to repeat a melodic sequence.
The mechanism is hidden within, prompting investigation by peering into slots around its perimeter.
Like looking into a microscope - a scale transition, a shadowy world within, a simple revelation.
The object’s form is redolent of the zoetrope, a 19th century optical device. But rather than animation of vision,
this object animates sound, relationship, association and memory.
