Misc. Too Jen Teo

Last year Dave O’Donoghue was invited into Don’t Look Gallery and given eight hours to create an interactive audio monster from the stockpile of analogue equipment out the back. He successfully made a fragile, but amazing machine that relied on the interdependence of its components for continued existence.

This year, sound artist Jen Teo (http://www.plumindustries.org) has been invited to do her interpretation of a sonic Frankenstein. Morphing reel-to-reel tape recorders, fluorescent lights, timers, record players, movie projectors, old television sets, radios, amps, speakers a variety of circuitry and numerous doo-dads, and wochamacallits, Teo will make a truly awe-inspiring rhizomic creation.

A physical web of circuitry, Teo’s monster will encompass the audience, turning passive observers into vital components. Just like O’Donoghue, Teo will be making both a profound statement about obsolescence, and a captivating spectacle that will play on our minds long after the puzzle pieces have been severed from the collective and returned from whence they came.
