Testing the Mechanics - Part 2

2023

Understudy - Denver Theatre District (2023)

Testing the Mechanics is a new installation that uses multiplayer cassette tape loops to pass sound through a circulatory system of magnetic tape underneath the floor. Visitors dip their heads into holes to listen through the static. Testing the Mechanics is a work about the timing and fragility of internal change, and directing from the inside even when you can’t see where you are going. It also asks questions about boundaries between reality/fantasy, past/future/present, death/rebirth, above/below. Testing the Mechanics was created with collaborating sound artist Adam Stone.
