Conceptual drawing on photograph

Ten swinging pendants attached to a pair of wooden blocks were to be supported by a pair of airplane cables between birch trees. Solar panels on the roof were to supply power to the preamps. A 4X4x8 foot rigid pine block was planned to rest on feet imbedded in concrete. Twenty five stainless steel strands were to cover its surface and each wire was to have a Shadow sensor placed at different nodes. On the bottom of the pendants were locking receptor mechanisms where feathers, small branches and similar "needles" could be inserted. Tree movements controlled the played-movements over the surface.

This title, for instance, suggests aspects of what art in technologies have been advocating for some time. My long distance interactive and communicative project was accessable. Further, it grew from this point, later I merged with the computer and with people using computers. My work moves into working with digital sound processing. A Westar IV satellite linked musicians and sound artists for a two hour performance between New York (WNYC) and Duluth (KSJN-StPaul) in July
