Julie Wade Installation in Windsor

Julie Wade Installation in Windsor

The installation version of This is an important message for Julie Wade was set up for one day on March 3, 2016 in Studio A at the University of Windsor. The installation included two channels of Max/Jitter controlled video as well as four channels of audio. I have been experimenting with the idea of performable installations, where the installation operates on its own algorithmically but also invites interaction with a performer familiar with the piece. Gallery visitors were free to walk around the space, and I would occasionally get out my saxophone and play a few noisy gestures (multiphonics, squeaks, flurries of notes) with the available audio processing in mind. The situation raised a number of questions for me around the nature of performance and interaction that I will continue to think through. Photo by Sigi Torinus.
