Camille is utilizing the concept of psychoacoustics to build a site specific music installation. She found the resonant frequencies of the room and used them pitch the bell tones heard in the room. In the video she goes over the historical significance of the bell and why it appears in this work. There’s also a lot of other things happening, but I think this piece is really fantastic and effective in building on a space that can’t be replicated anywhere else. It’s kind of capturing a life in the room that wouldn’t otherwise exist or claiming the space for whatever period the piece was up.
