Video Response to “Steam Works”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYZITC1Q-WE

I wanted to make a visual and audible experience created solely from the sculpture itself. I recorded video and audio at the site when the steam was rising, capturing the interactive aspect of the piece. I then worked with the audio of the steam, amplifying, looping and cutting it into a new, rhythmic piece. I did the same with the video. I had the vision of this video from the first time I saw the sculpture; something about the meditative aspect of the steam and rock made me want to mold and cut it like Robert Morris worked with the land and steam already existing at the site of the sculpture.
