Event Detail

Alex Stephenson presents his sound installation Landscape with Changes in collaboration with lighting designer Jessica C. Flores. Landscape with Changes began as an online installation in 2021 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This will be its first in-person realization, utilizing eight-channel sound spatialization. The installation will run from approximately 5:00-9:00pm. Audience members are invited to come and go and can experience the environment whenever and for however long as they like. There are no loops, no exact repetitions of any kind—it is a landscape continually reinventing itself, yet, somehow, always recognizably the same.
