Dreamspace

by: Jeff Hoefs & Peter Chester (Sound Analogous)
amount granted: $1000

Jeff & Peter initially constructed a sculpture that embodied a terminal which responded with sound to the movement of a person around it. With their grant in 2003, a second sculpture was created and placed in a location remote to the first sculpture. The sculptures were linked, and participants “communicated” with one another by responding to the each other’s sounds.
