8. How it works: Participant speaks into an intercom A recording is captured Silence = zero intensity Speech = brightness of lights Computer plays recording as a loop The lights closest to the intercom light up based upon the speech – Lights are set off – Recording of speech played over loud speaker Recordings start near the intercom and move downward as new recordings come in.

Conceptual… “Here is a chance, it’s an open mic, to have your voice converse with others….people are also listening and replying to what is happening in the past. “ Freedom of speech Constant systems tracking us – Important for us as artists to intervene in that Creating environments that create community – That are poetic or connective or critical “Art help create these cohesive bonds that ultimately make us safer.”
