Creakily

video & sound installation

“Creakily” is an aqueous collaboration between myself and Kelly Clare. As a video created by Kelly is projected across the surface of large containers of water, the vessels--hooked up to transducers--vibrate with an audio score created by me. The creation becomes a “material glitch.” Water erodes the sureness of pre-recorded video and audio. Repetition drifts away from a set form, turning instead towards elemental improvisation. This work was created and installed in June 2021 for the Public Space One (Iowa City, IA) Open Air Media Festival.
