The aural body and the auditorium.
Signal and noise / engagement and distraction: the dialectical nature of audience

and a site-specific performance by
Bob Levene
“Her work resounds with a poetic sensibility that defies categorisation, but with a focus on the nature of perception and sound. Adopting pseudo-scientific strategies and anthropological methods of recording to analyse the ‘nature’ of things, she investigates time, distance and communication....” (McKinley)

  1. Thanks thanks thanks!!

    John Wynne (the stack-of-speakers guy who also showed this work at the Saatchi gallery last year) was the person who interviewed me today for the Sound Art / Design course at LCC. Felt a bit strange.
