WISH YOU WERE HERE - 2007 Interactive Sound Installation > Artists: Colin Asquith, Terry Nauheim, Jennifer Schmidt
A site for interactivity and reception, "Wish You Were Here" is a collective soundscape of audio greeting cards intended to be experienced within the hands of participants through physical and aural sampling. Our sounds are of field recordings, fragmented and manipulated to reinterpret the conventional notion of a sentiment and sense of place in the model of a greeting card. Re-contextualizing recorded material within this format places limits— including time, compression, and availability—while initiating an accessible, portable, and participatory narrative. Installation : pre-recorded audio greeting cards, card display racks, microphones, real-time recording of participant interaction with the cards within the installation.
