Hi Josh,
So this found object ( found objects do not need to be 3d things only) of the soft torture playlist is quite sensational, which makes it difficult material. I think your decision to play them for the audience is good. I like the durational aspect of that work. I think we all agree the sculptures didn't work. If you want to investigate the relationship between that music and figurative sculpture there are many strategies to take. We didn't talk so much about that, maybe you can clarify your intentions with regards to that aspect. The music and its purpose is so overpowering. That these tunes are regular bar tunes but also torture music is interesting and says something curious about humans' relationship to music. I think you need to clarify your position towards this music, when you know what you have to say about it, the work will follow.

p.s it's taking way too long to upload documentation the video. I'll try again later.
There's enough weight in the music itself. I'm assuming most people wouldn't sit through the whole thing. Maybe find a way to make them? Play it loudly on a continuous loop somewhere that requires a prolonged visit?
ReplyDeletetwas a cool idea man. i also thought people thinking it was furniture and wanting to jump on it was interesting. maybe having the music louder, have the setting of the room different, and/or changing the clothing on the two figures? i dunno..
