Audio visual crossover remains a talked about topic at the moment in contemporary art, I'm interested in how the artist and the viewer deals with it after years of debates around visual bias and value of sound as a medium. There are still stigmas around it (i.e. look to the debates around Susan Philipsz's work in the Turner Prize). With this in mind, this is the first experiment I've come up with using a computer that I took apart, so it still works, but is arranged differently to create a sculpture that I'm hoping will eventually play some interesting sounds. There's lots to play with, incl input and output jacks, a disk drive, but I'm tempted to set that stuff aside, perhaps making a turntable on top, making the needle pick up sound from a CD rom. I hope to balance sound and visual equally.
