Two-channel video installation

The piece re-examines the mundane location of a stairwell, a space whose primary function is to transition people to another space, and instead makes it the primary focus of attention. The sonic environment of this location is explored by repeated journeys up and down the stairs and the discovery of the individual squeaks and sonic characteristics of each step. This audiovisual data is then fed into an algorithm that generates random excerpts, allowing the work to organically and endlessly evolve in unexpected patterns.
