Glove Forest . . . exhibition details

  1. Glove Forest digital video - projected on a gallery wall or shown on a television monitor.
    5 minute - QuickTime video: 25.4 MB


    Glove Forest is an interactive audio video sculpture installation addressing loss, our environment and accountability. Glove Forest features video, a surround sound audio collage played through speakers mounted inside glove tree sculptures, and an evolving installation of gloves pledged from visitors.The audio collage is built upon found words; the video: found visuals; the sculpture: found gloves, just as our other works are built upon found objects.

    The video collage is five-minutes in duration featuring images of nature juxtaposed with grim footage of landfill sites, merged with semi-translucent faces of young and old expressing personal experiences of loss, the environment and questioning our role and responsibility.

Drawing viewers through the gallery, the video collage’s haunting vocal soundtrack of arching melodies permeates the exhibition space. Walking amongst Glove Forest the visitor hears voices emanating from each of the glove trees. Tension is created between the glove trees’ surround sound audio collage and the video soundtrack: challenging and engaging visitors to alternate between actively listening to the whispering hanging glove trees and watching the video. For the surround sound audio collage words were extracted from interviews with the public and edited into layered rhythmic loops on five discrete audio channels, each approximately two-minutes in duration.
