The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

CURRENT EXHIBITION

Halsey Burgund: ROUND

March 9, 2008—July 27, 2008

ROUND is an audio installation that will solicit spoken voice contributions from visitors and use them as part of a musical composition intended to be listened to while viewing the work on view in the galleries. The interactive audio experience will allow visitors to hear a diverse range of voices—including artists, curators, and visitors—sharing their perspectives about the exhibitions and to add their responses. The comments will be collected in a database of recordings and subsequently incorporated into the piece. Thus, there will be a continual loop of opinion and emotional response, all contained within a musical work.  The flexible infrastructure developed and built for the installation will be the basis for future audio tours at the Museum.
