Conceived for S3026 – Boulder CO – July 2020

Stay-at-home. What are the sounds that shape the experience of confined urban domesticity? How are space and time mediated differently in neighboring ecosystems?

An apartment and a meadow: staying at home and being at home, sensed and projected through biological and technological bodies, marked by everyday routines.

The sole visitor employs their body as a cyborg, to encounter multi-dimensional places and events through pre-recorded sound and sight. Existing in isolation and in correspondence, distinct experiences bleed into one another through interchangeable soundtracks and imagery, both still and moving.

What are the limits of mediation? How is perception challenged in technologically reproducible environments? How does the imagined dichotomy between nature and culture inform the ways in which humans navigate and represent place?

Using monitors, headphones and projection, This is a Pre-Recorded Experience makes these questions audible for and visible to the visitors of S3026, in a unique historical and technological moment.
