WSU Vancouver's CMDC Program Launches Photo & Sound Installation

Description

The 2010 Creative Media and Digital Culture Artist in Residence Ethan Rose, along with students from the CMDC program at Washington State University Vancouver, are launching a week-long photo/sound installation in downtown Vancouver Dec. 3-12. The event is free and open to the public. "Placing" is a photo/sound installation featuring a series of images and flat-panel speakers that explores the intersection of voice, spatial acoustics and technology. The recorded sounds and photographs are situated according to the acoustic qualities of the gallery to draw attention to the physically employed methods of spatial/vocal transformation. This highly experimental exhibit of sound art will be the first of its kind in Vancouver. The installation opens on "First Friday," 5:30 - 8 p.m. Dec. 3 at 605 Main St. in Vancouver, Wash. The show will run 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Dec. 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12. CMDC students will be working as docents in the gallery to talk about the work and answer questions.
