I have very ambitious ideas and I feel like VCU would be the place to encounter a greater academic conversation while working to achieve these artistic goals. I have been studying sound art, printmaking and installations throughout my undergraduate years at DAAP. I began to work in these mediums specifically for their connections and metaphors towards philosophy of accepting and defining technology/ technological systems. Sound art theory is no more than a “passing theory”; our sonic environment is constantly changing, much like our technological environment. This creates a lack of a priori knowledge in a society almost completely dependent on it, with our obsession of image. To get to a state of accepting a posteriori knowledge, I would like to create work that challenges images as a priori knowledge and give the viewer an individual experience and control over the work, much like any device we would use in day - to - day life. I would like to further this investigation of sound, image and technology through experimental, chance and interactive processes as I study at VCU. Currently I am focusing on the idea of humans as toolmakers through interaction with objects (technology), through our interaction, and the inevitable outcome of a sonic experience. This interaction is what I am interested in, the transition of an object (art) as a tool being used into a tool being made. When this transition of a tool being used to a tool becoming made is when we escape from the a priori knowledge of the tool (the image of the tool), and transcend into the a posteriori of the tool (the experience of interacting with the tool), specifically the sonic outcome from the interaction.

I made this video and sound piece to use the sounds of the environment as a disposable material, those making the viewers as an active reason moving the piece along.
