Knock-Knock

Installation in "Boston Cyberarts Festival," Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA. With Bettina Bloc, Olivia Robinson, and Amy Scarfone.

Knock-Knock is an interactive installation evoking contemporary communications networks using cardboard and copper wire. This collaborative project is a network of suspended cardboard boxes, linked by contact microphones and drivers, transmitting sound across the box network through the cardboard filters. The contact microphones are precisely tuned so that tapped messages can travel short distances along the network or cycle around the ring, depending on the strength of the tap.
