Make Sound 2012 is a partner exhibition to the National Wet Paint Exhibition 2012, and is organized in a similar fashion. MFA candidates and recent MFA recipients in sound art, installation, and performance will be honored and exhibited alongside those in Wet Paint.
Now in its first year, Make Sound 2012 focuses on Chicago-based artists, expanding to national submission-based curatorial efforts in the future.
Jonny Farrow, Feed3+
Feed3+ is an audio/visual improvisation utilizing a no-input feedback system that generates the audio, and a Jitter-manipulated video feedback system that generates the visuals. The visuals create an instant score for the audio performance. Feed3+ is the sum of three interdependent feedback loops: the audio, the video, and the performer’s reading and manipulation of the score. For more information visit: www.jonnyfarrow.net
Ethan Rose, Movements
Movements consists of a series of individually treated, electrically-powered music boxes that use the gallery wall as a resonating body. Each individual music box was physically altered by selectively bending back tines, resulting in a melodic reduction of the original composition. The altered boxes are then grouped and controlled by timers that intermittently activate different sections of the piece in order to engage a constantly shifting non-linear auditory experience.
