Installation Description

- To construct a piece of plastic 8” by 5’ that is etched and embedded with record imprints.
- This piece of plastic will be attached to the wall of the installation and to a track that will move in a vertical motion therefore causing the plastic to move slowly up and down the wall.
- In conjunction to this vertical movement the phonographs attached to the typewriters will move horizontally.
- Sensors from the typewriter will be placed either within the installation or room and whenever activated will cause the phonograph to move left or right.
- Record player tone arms will also be placed beside the plastic and move in a circular motion.
- The goal is that by having the plastic be etched and embedded with record imprints, when the phonograph and tone arm pass over it sound will be amplified (both will have microphones for listening).
- Even though they will be playing the etchings they will also be recording too as the needles from both will etch the plastic as well.
- Therefore the plastic becomes a devise for recording and playing sounds and a continues loop as it is always being played and etched on to.
