ALTERED PURPOSE (INSTALLATION)

01 Aug 2012

I built an installation in my bedroom using an amplifier kit, magnets, wire, and art materials I found in my new apartment upon moving to Brooklyn, NY. I illustrated images of speculative bioengineering, then I took those drawings and appropriated them into speakers by attaching a loop of magnet wire and placing them over magnets attached to the wall. I also made platonic solids out of the same construction paper, put small magnets inside, and attached them to a chain running across my bedroom, which is also where I routed the audio wires. The below video is an enthusiastic, if not a little distracting, attempt to document my performing with a custom MAX/MSP patch through the installation.
