filmed inside of solitary confinement, audio reverbation of architectural materials and extruded human voices play strongly on the psyche. Light, disorientation of time and space are exacerbated by optic, psycho-physio atrophy, affecting the individual as inmate within prison structure (a catch-22 regarding the safety of other inmates, guards), and as former inmate reentering society.

Arthur

   A collaborative audio installation as responsive to human -

   tech interaction within our daily environments. The focus

   of Arthur is architectural space.

   As you enter, the building acknowledges your presence by

   remarking on the lovely day, your new haircut, or even an

   introduction. You would be entering what might be

   considered his personal space, so a quick "Hi, I'm Arthur,

   who are you?" hints at a proper protocol...yes?

   In downtime, Arthur might be heard humming, napping, or

   mumbling about whatever bits are running through his

   mind...you know, talking to himself.

   When you walk through the door, his attention is right

   there to acknowledge you. He's very friendly, and he loves

   baseball. Would you like to hear some snippets?

                           ear-buds will clarify if audio is garbled on mobile device
