Sun Run Sun


Sun Run Sun: on Sonic Navigations (2007-2009), investigates contemporary, historical and animal techniques of navigation through the use of sound.

FEATURED WORKS

Charting a path between environmental engagement and technological development, Sun Run Sun explores the relationship between the embodied experience of location and the calculated data of position. A continuously changing musical composition is generated from signals of navigation satellites in orbit, together with the participant’s coordinates on earth. By exploring the individual experience of navigation technologies through the intimate and immersive qualities of sound, it re-establishes and renegotiates a sense of embodied connectedness to one’s environment.
