Description
Performing Arts (including Performance Art)
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art
From artist statement: " 'Sonic Zoo: Noise, Sound, and Rhythm on the Border Between Two Worlds' comprises thirteen Sound installations (Art) on a compact disc; these encompass the core of the project. Sonic armatures lasting between three and five minutes each, illustrated with eloquent photographs in color and in black and white. The CD also includes, in booklet form, a bilingual introduction to the project. There is a 'Zooful' of noises and sounds that are revealed every day and every night. They range from the simple inhalation and exhalation of the urban core to the guttural song of machinery and other beasts. Overarching the pervasive physical differences between Tijuana and San Diego, there is a ringing fountainhead of sound that rises above the barriers of language to give life its rhythm."
