At its core, “Low Fidelity” explores the fragility of memory, the subjective nature of individual experience, and the liminality of the simultaneity of time. Viewers are invited to experience the disorienting audial and visual elements and challenge their perception through this thought-provoking and perplexing work.
-Sydney G.
“Low Fidelity” speaks to the mind, the memory, and the radio. Unreliable, fragmented, transitory; like the fleeting ringing in your ear it oscillates between now and then, here and there.
For one evening, the fourth iteration of the sonic installation comes to life. Twenty vintage AM transistor radio photo cubes rotate and transmit signal simultaneously, featuring street photography taken with Polaroid 600 film. Automated tuning forks offer an uneasy disruption to the sonic field, emphasizing their highly unpredictable and often low audio fidelity.
