Current and Upcoming Exhibitions
GESTURES and CLUSTERS: Two Collaborative Soundscapes
November 2, 2024 - February 19, 2025
GESTURES & CLUSTERS is an immersive installation of two self-running sound art works: Gestures/Murmurations, a collaborative work by John Driscoll and Cecilia Lopez, and Cluster Fields, a collaboration between John Driscoll and Phil Edelstein. Both works stem from the artists’ extensive multidisciplinary backgrounds in electronic music composition and performance, as well as the development of unique instruments, computer software, robotics, sculpture and installation. Original sound scores are created using custom sculptural loudspeakers (including 55-gallon metal drums, plastic pipes, fishing poles, large mica wings and robotic rotating speakers), hundreds of sound files and software for focused sound localization and distribution.
Each sound installation is specifically tuned to take advantage of the architectural resonances and acoustics of the large open exhibition spaces of the Zuccaire Gallery, while allowing individuals to experience their own soundscapes as they navigate the spaces.
Artists: John Driscoll, Phil Edelstein and Cecilia Lopez, COMPOSERS INSIDE ELECTRONICS
