Performance, November 19, 20:30
Installation, November 20-21, 14 > 18:00
In a large, quiet room, a long “corridor” of sound cuts through an otherwise empty space. A Sensation of Movement is an exploration of the spaciousness and flow of time in the context of sound. As such, it is a rethinking of the idea of a ‘kinetoscope’ from the sonic point of view: a collection of aural cues diffused in a panoramic way, the piece moves with the breadth and space of film, but replaces sight with sound at the center of the visitor’s sensory experience.
What’s heard in Sensation is a moving environmental soundscape – a slice of sonic time in one single cut: urban and natural sounds mix in a long (45 minute) journey from a high level of aural density to low, and back again. The sound of walking is frequently heard. The recording is made binaurally, such that in reproduction in the installation there is a palpable sense of aurally “being there”.
During his residency, he's exploring new avenues for the two essential components of the piece: a new recording, made during his time in Brussels, and a new method of diffusing this multi-channel piece. Instead of free-standing “loudspeakers”, he'll create a denser, more cocoon-like shape for the installation.

Dorsey Dunn
Los Angeles-based artist Dorsey Dunn’s work in sound, text and image, in the form of installations, performances and written and recorded works, is an extended meditation on the perimeters of language, the movements of silence, and the vagaries of comprehension. Languages, spoken and sounded, in their multiplicities of gesture and meaning, are a primary concern, as are considerations of memory, spatial presence, and will. Dorsey regularly exhibits and performs his sound-led installations and music in the US and internationally. His most recent solo show was at Outpost for Contemporary Art in Los Angeles last May. He has received invitations to residencies and festivals around the world, most recently to the media arts lab TESLA in Berlin; Jack Straw New Media Gallery in Seattle; Festival International de Arte Digital, Rosario, Argentina; MusicAcoustica in Beijing; and Is Arti in Vilnius and Kaunas, Lithuania. He has scored and produced music for film, theater, and dance, as well as for a variety of multimedia performances. Previously, he edited an international literary magazine, Trafika, based in Prague and New York. He was educated in New York City.
