Offshore

In Off Shore, Steve Goodman, Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, and DeForrest Brown Jr will employ various sonic technologies, including consumer and military devices placed throughout the Canary Test gallery. Subwoofers (atomospheric), LRADS (horizontal directional), Holosonics (vertical directional), and wearable subpacs and noise cancelling headphones (embodied) create varying spaces of activity that simultaneously overlap and diverge to create unique zones of experience from moments of sensory overboard to complete silence. The conceptual framework of the project is rooted in the artists' shared history of engaging with sound in multifaceted ways, from kinetic sculptures and sound installations to live sets and critical writings (Steve Goodman Sonic Warfare MIT Press 2012, DeForrest Brown Jr, Assembling a Black Counter Culture Primary Information 2022).
