Eric Wong + Anna Friz

Santa Cruz, California
$18.23 (includes all fees)

Eric Wong utilizes multiple Bluetooth speakers to facilitate a spatialized sonic experience that decentralizes the overarching PA system. The portability of the speakers enables performers and audience to relate to the sound sources in different ways. The speakers are placed sporadically across the space, or among the audience, who may also interact with the speakers during the performance. The pitch materials are either in ratio with one another for different shades of harmonies, or are interfering with each other in closely deviated frequencies. Audience’s physical distances from individual speakers also affect the shades of harmonies or depths of interference they experience.

Anna Friz presents a sonic activation of objects often rendered invisible as parts of infrastructure or embedded in every day routines. The props are the stars.
