My friend and colleague Dan Tapper and I will be presenting the latest iteration of the Spectral Sound Systems A/V project at the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) this coming Friday, November 20th:

About the project:
Spectral Sound Systems is an audiovisual performance that explores the hidden sounds and signals that permeate urban spaces.
Cities are saturated with invisible and unheard electromagnetic emissions – from communications, security and power systems, among other sources – as well as the audible but often unheeded background noise and music broadcast through shopping malls, chain stores and other retail environments. This project approaches these sublimated signals as spectres of unseen yet omnipresent power structures.
Video has been sourced from the recording locations and is manipulated in real time, producing shifting point clouds and evolving visual maps derived from both the sites' architectures and the sound’s spectral data. The work unfolds as a live audiovisual system that exposes the complex cultural traces embedded within a place, turning the environment into both the subject and the material of the performance.
