An Audio Quilt of a Thousand Names
Credits: concept, development, fabrication and installation as member of LabSynthE
Inspired by the performance of reading of the names memorialized in the AIDS Memorial Quilt, the lab created this piece, which turned the original public performance into an intimate experience. We invited people to read and record names of 10 people who passed away of HIV/AIDS. The cards were then installed together as one “audio quilt,” which could be played back.
