My MFA show is coming up!!!

"furusato -sounds of home-" an interactive sound installation by Naomi Lucille Kagaya

Dates: Friday, June 6 and Saturday, June 7th at 1-5pm

Location: on the lawn (overlooking the ocean), outside of the lower level of the Music Center

Naomi Lucille Kagaya's furusato - sounds of home - presents an interactive sonic installation that explores personal origins. Through the creation of an aural "environment" Furusato inspires guests to question themselves and re-think their own definitions of home. The sound samples used for the installation were recorded by the artist, and are everyday sounds that evoke a sense of home. When guests enter the space, sensors react to their presence triggering the algorithm, which randomly selects sound samples and other parameters. Because of the variables, the soundscape is never the same. This randomness is significant because it demonstrates that the elements within space, time, experience, and memory are always changing just as individual ideas of home are constantly evolving.
