More Information
Installation for six cassette recorders suspended by ropes and pulleys playing endless loop cassettes. Members of the audience can reconfigure the cassette players’ spatial location by operating the pulley system—a spatial construction of “open form.” Wikiup was commissioned by ICI, Independent Curators Incorporated.
Listen to a stereo mix of the version for six instruments below as used for the US exhibition “SUPERSHOW,” and a stereo mix of the electronic version as used in the Berlin exhibition, “Fuer Augen und Ohren.” These mixes reflect one of many possible random combinations of the six channels in time.
