...:::...something i've been thinking about lately...how i listen...as much as i might like to make it in motion, it is mostly while working...there are other ways, too. this is called 'mute room' by thom faulders and was part of an exhibit commissioned by the wattis institute in 2001 called 'rooms for listening'...as a room-sized device for listening to experimental electronic music, a contour of the foam's surface operates as a sound baffle to enhance acoustical clarity. similar to the way that musical notes 'decay' in the air before dissipating, this surface has a transitory quality - impressions linger until fully erased by the slowly acting foam.
