MONOLITH
Stone, organic matter, copper, soundscape (3 min. loop)
Sculptural sound installation placed within a home temple in Bali. Created for Circle Art Residency, Indonesia.
A meditation as opposed to any specific judgements or statements, Monolith explores ideas surrounding what, who, how and why we worship. The departure point for the residency was an exploration of the parallels between modern physics and eastern mysticism and theories of gods as extra-terrestrial beings from the future. As the residency developed a more universal contemplation of spirituality and communication developed. The soundscape for the installation features layering and samples of; a recording of the Earth’s ‘sound’ produced via a NASA device that can extract sound from electromagnetic vibrations, a live recording of a full moon Cacao Ceremony in Ubud, distorted sounds of the Gamelan, human voices and recordings of electric-magnetic waves emitted from the screen of a laptop transformed into sound via a pick-up from a telephone.
