Sound Booth<\/h1>\n

Sound Booth<\/span><\/em>\u00a0is <\/span>a new series of sound installations outside the entrance to the George Segal Gallery. Brian Oakes will be the first artist in this series, bringing together sculpture, sound, and lighting to create an immersive environment for deep listening<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian Oakes: Fall 2023 – Spring 2024<\/div>
\n

On View September 14 \u2013 May 10, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brian Oakes designs and produces his own circuit boards as the main material for his sound and light sculptures \u200b\u200busing a \u201cdo it yourself\u201d approach. Through system-generated light and sound, these sculptures reveal how the mechanical components of computer-based technology work and function.<\/span><\/p>\n

The circuit boards include unique shapes with components arranged in specific patterns and etched designs that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. They present a symbolic language reminiscent of ancient runes and function with electrical currents traveling across the symbols and patterns. Oakes\u2019 circuit boards offer a kind of technological divination related to occult and esoteric forms of knowledge production, where electrical impulses pass through symbols and bodies bringing the artwork to life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oakes\u2019 <\/span>Untitled <\/span><\/em>Sound System 11<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>is made up of 14 circuit boards creating a sonic sculpture that can be modulated using knobs redirecting the intensity of the electrical signals altering the sounds and LED lights that flash as the sculpture emits sound. The installation also features lighting fixtures designed by Oakes made with custom circuit boards, LED light chains, and other materials similar to <\/span>Untitled Sound System 11<\/span><\/em>. Together, the <\/span>Sound Booth<\/span><\/em> installation allows for an opportunity to intimately observe and listen deeply to the internal landscapes of computer-based machines.<\/span><\/p>\n
