I attended the art event where a few visiting artists were presenting their work. One of them showed us a piece that he created using sound technology. It consisted of a bucket of water that people could throw pebbles into. When pebbles were thrown in, a microphone would pick up the sound and an attached computer would play back a sound of rain. The soundtrack that was used started out with the sound of rain hitting a tin roof, and then grew into the sound of a storm. I thought this was a very interesting idea, and it was very well thought out to use sound in such a way in order to make a piece of art interactive.
The next artist was working on a gold coating that was covering an entire wall where she would be hanging up photos she took. She was using long strips of tape on this coating to create a design that resembled a forest.
Another artist was building what he referred to as hot head and cool head. These were two structures built with many boards of wood to resemble giant heads. One was painted blue and the other painted red to contrast each other as polar opposites. Cameras were set up on both structures so that each would be recording the other.
