I’ll have an audio installation piece up at Abecedarian Gallery starting September 19th through October 24th.

The installation includes an imaginary interview with musician James Ferraro. Featuring audio samples of Ferraro’s work mixed with effected answers via speech synthesis, derived from various sources online. The piece will also be interactive, inviting the user to further remix and manipulate each audible answer using an electronic sampler.

Here’s the official press release:

“Denver artist & creative thinker Katie Taft has curated an exhibition for Abecedarian Gallery that focuses on one of her primary interests: stories about people. Taft invited 20 artists from throughout the US to select and interview a person of their choice, perhaps famous, locally famous or not at all famous, a person known beforehand or not. The style of interview and the questions asked were left entirely up to the invited artists.

The artists have made a creative representation of the information learned about that person. The exhibition includes a rich variety of media, styles and experience. In addition to the exhibition a publication including the interviews themselves will be produced and available.”
