Kenetic Sculpture
In one way or another, I’ve participated in the first 3 SoundWalk events in the East Village Arts District of Long Beach, CA. This annual one-night event features art that uses sound, including site-specific installations, interactive pieces, conceptual works, sculpture, and performance. Having been invited to participate in the 1st SoundWalk event, I began working with a fabricator (metal artist Tom Walker), and created my first ever sound-driven kenetic sculpture, titled Transduction. Subsequently, it was included in the jurored Motion+Sound show at the 2nd City Council Art Gallery + Performance Space, and featured at The Photon Ballet, a special event produced by the Los Angeles chapter of SIGGRAPH. Phtographs of that installation can be found here and here.
Having been invited back for the 2nd annual SoundWalk, I worked with another fabricator (metal artist Dwight Bennett) to produce Metal Flux. [note: this link is to a rather large video]
Last year, my contribution to the SoundWalk event was sitting in on part of a 5 hour drone performance by the Hop-Frog Kollectiv.
