Work in progress. Wood framework, chain link fence, box w/lights & sounds. |
People's interactions with the pentagon trigger sensor driven sounds and blinking emergency lights from a box situated in its center. The shouts and whispers originate from people's entries on the Blue Wall of Silence website. The box and the inner workings of the pentagon are secured behind a chain link fence. Questions of control, surveillance, transparency, permanence and the role of the public are implicit. |
