'72-'74 FLOATPLANES (2005)

Conceptual levitating projects began with clay sculptures in 1968 and later into the seventies with young versions of electronic constructions. Since this was to have been erected in a central Iowa City space it wa planned to be a self-broadcasting interactive site.

Full Description

A low rise mastaba earth form was to be covered in red and white clover (for no mowing). A grey-white gravel path can be seen beginning in the top right and ending at the bottom center. The square foundation concrete was surmounted with used coil car springs and these suspended an outer dual frame work and the parallel wooden beams completed the floor. The triangulated guyed towers were to hold galvanized wires for wind monitoring. This output was to have been preamped into power amps, which would have produced sound in weather proof Voice of the Theatre speakers seen at opposite corners.
