Lost in Translation
Lost In Translation, 2018
Sound Installation; self contained box made of recycled pallets, Raspberry Pi with microphone.
Dimensions: 8ft h x 4ft w x 4ft d
Lost in Translation, is self-contained sound installation work that explores the transmission of image in space.
Employing Slow Scan Television to encode an image into an audible signal, the sound is played at the bottom of the container and picked up by the microphone at the top, decoded back in real-time on the screen.
Exploring the acoustic space, the work invites the audience to stand between the speaker and microphone, directly affecting the acoustic signature. Using their body to disrupt the propagating sound, the viewer ultimately interferes with the decoding of the original image and leaves their unique effect visible. This aleatoric mode of image-making directly addresses the viewer, not simply as observer but as maker.
