China Blue's piece "The Secret Arch" an interactive sound sculpture that uses a Max/Msp audio engine to deliver live streaming recordings that the audience makes on site, from the sculpture. The Secret Arch is based on the secret arch, an architectural feature located at Grand Central Station, New York. There, when you whisper into one corner of the arch you can be heard clearly on the opposite side.
Users of The Secret Arch are invited to interact with it by recording their passions, fears, phobias or secrets at the arch on site. If someone is shy or far away you can also send a short one or two sentence recording or an e-mail (which will be converted into a sound file), to [email protected] The piece will be shown at Dam Stuhltrager Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY. She will also have paintings of visualizations of the sound waves in the room. For more information go to www.chinablueart.com
