LO 4

I have decided to focus on is Christina Kubisch’s Cloud, once piece of the collection I was able to experience SFMOMA. Kubisch’s Cloud sculpture is a snarl of vivid red wires and cable ties suspended in the gallery space. Visitors experience the audio of the piece by wearing headphones that intercept the electromagnetic transmission from the piece, with each movement changing the audio that is transmitted. General areas have sound recorded from the same space but ultimately are still different sounds. In essence, the viewers become human mixers, moving around or turning their heads to create what they want to hear from Cloud, creating real-time compositions.

Kubisch’s Cloud project started in 2011, and the project has become even more sophisticated since then. The sounds of the Cloud are programmed into different sections of the physical Cloud, creating the interaction fo moving around the Cloud to experience different sounds.
