Stem (Voice)
Interactive sound installation.
Resin, speakers, found circuits, electrical wire. 2010 ABSA L’Atelier finalist |
The audience is encouraged to interact with Stem by recording their own voices into one of the several ‘flowers’. The last recorded voice is played back repetitively until a new voice is recorded over the last.
Stem looks into the nature of dialogue and the changes technology has pronounced upon it. It explores the depth of communication and the potential deterioration of understanding between people over communication techologies. The title of the artwork is a play on the English translation of the Afrikaans word 'stem' which means 'voice' and the English reference to an organic 'stem' of a plant. - Finalist at the Absa Atilier Art Awards 2010. |
