Ashley John Pigford’s Active Intersection sound installation, running this month at P’unk Avenue‘s office in the Passyunk Square neighborhood of South Philadelphia is now streaming live.
We reported on the University of Delaware professor’s installation with near-excruciating detail earlier this month in our Shop Talk series last week.
Pigford’s installation is a trippy experiment that documents, translates and transmits activity in the street outside P’unk Avenue’s office near 9th and Federal streets as sound.
A camera records sound and video of happenings in the intersection. A computer extracts information from the recorded data and outputs it into a droning, fluctuating melody. Then, the re-processed sound then gets synced to a projection of the video recording.
“It’s constantly changing, constantly flowing, which I think is a very positive human experience.” — Ashley John Pigford on his sound installation.
Be sure to check out the live stream—which is quite hypnotizing—and find out how it all works in our coverage.
