Vibe Cube 'Southend' (UK). Vibe³ (Vibe Cube) is a sound installation by Damien Robinson and Stuart Bowditch, incorporating collected, donated, and archived sounds that express the “spirit of place” of where it is installed.
For this new version, residents of Southend and it's Borough have been invited to submit both recordings and ideas for recordings which reflect the history, character, and the unique feel of their area – anything from wildlife to nightlife. We will collect and redevelop them into an ever-changing sound mix via the Vibe Cube, which will be exhibited at the CoExist Gallery at TAP, North Road, in Southend in July 2010. How do I donate a sound, or suggestion? You can send information in a number of ways, so don't worry if you don't have your own computer or a recording device. -go to http://drop.io/vibecube and to drop a sound file via the widget -email: [email protected] to send us a sound or suggestion for sounds - phone: 0844 3578387 to record a sound or leave a suggestion for a recording we can make How will the sounds be used? The sounds and recordings will be transformed into a sound-based artwork and your contribution could be included in the finished piece. As well as the public submissions, the artists are collecting new sounds found around the town as well as drawing on their current archives. At the end of the project we will donate all the recordings we have collected to the Essex Sound Archive where it will help to form a more detailed historical picture of our county, what it is like now and how it is changing. The Vibe Cube itself is not just a sound experience; using an innovative form of technology, it becomes a resonating instrument where sounds can be experienced by touch as well as heard. The Vibe Cube will be exhibited at the CoExist Gallery at TAP, North Road, in Southend, July 2010. The original version of this work was Commissioned by Commissions East and Essex County Council, documentation of which can be viewed at http://www.openspaceessex.org/osp_artists_damienrobinsonstuartbowditch.php _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
