Architecture is often understood through section drawings. What if you could understand it through section sounds? Candy created two installations that captured sonic sections of a building vertically and horizontally. A wooden box was wired to collect live audio on three floors. Viewers put their ear to each ear-shaped hole to listen to a live vertical slice of the building. Another wooden box contained eight compartments, each with a sliding panel and separate audio track. Viewers could slide the panels to hear one or more pre-recorded horizontal audio sections of the building.
By listening to these condensed versions of the building, one could get an audible sense of the different activities within and enjoy the theatricality of a building in a box. Photos of the first box have since been destroyed in an unfortunate accident, but the sketches still remain for posterity. Exhibited in the Art and Architecture Building, University of Michigan. |
