CCRT "The Pained Ponies Go Up and Down"
Governors Island
This event has ended.
The Painted Ponies Go Up and Down by The CCRT Collaborative is a kinetic sound sculpture that is solar activated. The sculpture includes a homemade record player playing a looping homemade record. The grooves on the record are created by digitally interpreting data from a weather station. Visually, the sculpture will also reflect data translation and be inspired by the change of seasons.
Cross Current Resonance Transducer (CCRT) is composed of LoVid (Tali Hinkis & Kyle Lapidus) and Douglas Repetto. They are interested in the processes of interpretation and evaluation that are inherent in human attempts to understand natural phenomena. Their investigation has expanded from an initial focus, which emphasized using standard environmental sensors, to an interest in building our own environmental monitoring devices as well as data visualizing sculptures, videos, and prints. CCRT has been collaborating since 2005, and have been working closely with Harvestworks for many years. CCRT has received individual artist grants from NYSCA, Greenwall Foundation, and a Turbulence Commission from turbulence.org. Their work has been exhibited at The New York Electronic Art Festival and at 911 Media Arts Seattle, and free103point9’s Wave Farm Transmission Sculpture Garden.
