Opening reception on March 2, 2012

"Inhabit Host Skull" invites the viewer to shape a constantly shifting sound environment, leaving a mark that mutates with each generation. By recording a one minute segment of sound, the viewer (and now partici- pant) enters their instant composition into a sound bank that is filtered back into the gallery, creating a constantly evolving composition. Responsibility over the quality and usefulness of the installation becomes a shared burden, similar to emerging open-source technologies. Questions on creative control arise since the viewer creates the content, the artists create the structure, and the randomized program code delivers the end product.

The “Inhabit Host Skull” installation will be paired with a four-night performance series featuring other acts that blur the lines of music, dance, film, and literature.
