Scaled Discords
Scaled Discords is an interactive, sound art installation designed to facilitate discussions about racial inequity in America.
Scaled Discords uses gestural, visual and sonic vocabularies to question the status quo of social hierarchies in our society. Scaled Discords reflects the relationships that exist between institutional authorities and the people they serve. This installation is in its first iteration and I have started a Kickstarter campaign to fabricate a larger amount of sculptures with design improvements for a national exhibition tour. I am at 40% funded - getting there - but I need your support to help realize this critically important public installation. Backer rewards include sound recordings, limited edition prints and sculptures from the installation.

MARGARET NOBLE: 44TH AND LANDIS
Aug 09, 2012 through Jan 20, 2013
MCASD Downtown, Jacobs Building
Part of the MCASD's ongoing Cerca series, this mixed media installation by sound artist Margaret Noble charts a psychogeographical path through southern California's City Heights neighborhood. Combining visual traces of the neighborhood's early Victorian years and motifs drawn from 1980s urban pop culture, Margaret Noble: 44th and Landis takes the form of an ephemeral sculptural environment comprising hundreds of cut paper forms. The installation also incorporates an experiential soundscape spread over fourteen handmade paper speakers, and will serve as the set for a series of sound-based performances by Noble.
Mixing imagery appropriated from video games, Victorian paper dolls, and 1980s pop culture, the work evokes the external and internal worlds of a child navigating the streets of a city pressured by waves of disinvestment and gentrification. Integrating memory and fantasy, and public and private histories, Margaret Noble: 44th and Landis offers insights into urban neighborhood's of past and present.

Greetings Rhizome List,
