About: "To attract mates, these wood-borers create a tapping or ticking sound that can be heard in the rafters of old buildings on quiet summer nights. They are therefore associated with quiet, sleepless nights and are named for the vigil (watch) kept beside the dying or dead, and by extension the superstitious have seen the death watch as an omen of impending death."

"...within ye hear
No sound so loud as when on curtain'd bier
The death-watch tick is stifled."
- John Keats

Station

STATION is a multi-sensory media environment constructed in collaboration with artists Jeff Cain, Maile Colbert, Nate Harrison, and Albert Ortega. STATION consists of 2 radio stations with receiving towers and computer controllers, 4 scrim projection screens and a loudspeaker array. Using Very Low Frequency radio receivers, audio data from the earth's magnetosphere (data responsible for the natural phenomenon known as the Northern Lights) is captured and fed through custom software developed to manipulate video content in realtime. The resulting audio is both sent out over the speakers and used to trigger the video engines, creating a space in a constant state of transformation due to the earth's naturally changing electrical conditions.
