Shared Frequencies by Kabir Carter
at apexart

Saturday, November 1, 4-7 pm

as part of the exhibition
Perverted by Theater curated by
Franklin Evans and Paul David Young

Shared Frequencies is a portable sound installation and performance environment that relies on multiplex radio communications events as its primary performance material. An array of radio scanners is paired with a set of analog synthesizer modules, and assembled on a set of small, modest folding tables. The scanners pick up a wide variety of speech, encoded data streams, and noise that are converted into (more) synthetic sound. The results of these electroacoustic interactions are projected into the air, and the sounds heard are physically modified by the shape and volume of the installation's site.

Kabir Carter's work moves between sound, performance, and installation, and focuses on both the history and effect of acoustic communications technology on both private space and the public sphere. His work has been presented at throughout New York as well as in California, Florida, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.

Directions: A, C, E, N, R, W, Q, J, M, Z, 6 to Canal or 1 to Franklin.
