  • Window – transpose

    transpose is a new work for the window space gallery at the ISE Cultural Foundation in Soho, NY, which is also opened on next Friday 9/10. I finally tested it out the system with real equipment/setup, which works great. Then, now, I want to tweak the visual effect a little bit more. It must be beautiful in some degree.

    From top, 12″ subwoofer speaker, subwoofer amplifier, general amp (for mic amp this time), contact microphone (took apart one of the piezo speakers from RadioShack).

  • Hanging decipher

    Hanging art work is easy for me. It just takes time. I am probably doing slowly. Somebody said, “You are meticulous.” I hope she meant in a good way.

    I hung eight bow-shaped round rods with 6″ mid-range speaker. The sound quality was not that great in the Second Street Gallery, so I need to change my circuit a little bit. Now I am thinking if I insert Art T8 noise canceler or one tiny capacitor between pos. and neg. on the speakers.

    The installing for decipher should be stopped today since my other projects for solo exhibition, Emotional Echo: Separation, must be installed until September 9th. I haven’t finished a project for window display in the ISE Cultural Foundation, yet, which I started in the Vermont Studio Center residency program in June. I have to wait the materials a few days more.

    The process for decipher will stay until September 10th, then I will start it again and finish it up by September 14th. You will see.

  • Three projects

    Usually, I work on two or three projects at the same time. Here, I have the circuits for decipher and crossroads, which I will start to install from September 2nd, and also a remote control machine that may be for another project. There is no space for my MacBook on the tiny messy desk at home.

  • Ceiling for decipher

    decipher, site-specific installation, was originally created for Second Street Gallery, which ceiling height is 10′. Now I need to install it in the gallery 12′ high. I used thin wires to lower the ceiling in 10′ high. Now I noticed the fact that I need to extend the wires about 10″ in order to reach the connectors. To extend the wires is easy though, it eats extra time.
