Between Us

When a body passes the sound installation on the left side, the echoing sound of a voicemail message pleads “please stop ignoring me, please answer, please answer the phone” from a stripped-down speaker mounted on the clear acrylic divider. The viewer on the listening side can look through the clear acrylic and read “Stop Ignoring Me” in the text on the white wall. In this way, the project is a creative collaboration between the artist, viewer, space, and technology. Essentially the artwork is redundant without the presence of the figure.
