Clad in a network of microprocessors wired to produce sound, the artist moves about the gallery. When he likes the musical patterns, he downloads the algorithm to a sculptural object to which he is wired. This object, which remains active throughout the exhibition, contains dozens of small light sources interwoven into a network representing relationships among the 12 tones of the chromatic scale. Disconnected from the artist, the sound-sculpture continues to modify the original sound pattern as sensors embedded in the gallery unobtrusively and randomly feed back new data to the system, increasing musical complexity.
