Embracing the spirit of a prank call, Murmur/Murmur invites strangers to communicate using antique video phones. Our online selfs exist in a state removed from context or location; this piece invites those selves into a shared space and investigates power dynamics of surveillance and viewership through play.

Staggered Paths is a guided augmented reality walking tour. Participants were encouraged to use my voice and the video as a map of the Cherry Street Pier and the adjoining Race Street Pier. The video is a time capsule, the tour focuses on shifting qualities of light, sound, and technology through staggered timelines.

These recordings were mixed in with the background music at the Cherry Street Pier and played over the PA system there. Easily dismissed, these frequent interruptions seek lost items, attempt to tune with the city, announce the coming and going of people, advertise things that cannot be sold, and subtly draw attention.

Text Messages From Months Ago is a fragmented conversation between my partner and I. Calling in to different phones, which are connected to two radio transmitters operating at the same frequency, we read our privately sent messages and photographs from 6 months prior in detail. Two dancers respond to each others’ movements. One holds a weak transmitter, and the other holds a stronger transmitter. When they draw near, only the weak transmission—my voice—can be heard. When they seperate, only the strong transmission—my partner’s voice—is heard. As the dancers move, they stitch together a series of fragmented conversations determined by their closeness.

This at home house plant workout video explores relationships to efficiency as time is broken down numerically as it would be in a HIIT routine, with 45 seconds of intense exercise and 15 seconds to cool off. Telecommunication devices meticulously map out our lives for efficiency, breaking even the seconds into usable time chunks.

Radio performance in collaboration with Quinton Maldonado.

A phone call to the ocean. A simulacra for a conch shell. Corded phone connected to a livestream of the ocean. The sound is of Catalina Island, off the coast of California, as it happens in real time.

A never ending hold line made for radio.

Corded phone connected to bluetooth speaker which amplified the speaker's voice and carried it to the hallway just out of hearing range.
