This World, This Time (2021) -
Sean Hayward / Giorgos Gargalas / Adam Paroussos
Digital installation, 9 channels video/audio.
Created as part of the Westben Performer-Composer Residency.
The Golden Record, included on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977, marked an attempt to represent the diversity of life, language, and music on Earth to any intelligent being that might find it. Here, we reimagine this concept. Our own “Golden Record” does not attempt to paint a broad picture of life on Earth, but rather focuses on the subtle details of our individual locations, languages, and sonic experiences. This digital installation brings together sounds, walks, and tongue twisters from around the world into an interactive grid. The audience is encouraged to explore the different combinations of each square, creating their own unique version or ‘mix’ of the piece.
