EavesDroppers

Electrical Box offers a silent room ordained with over one-thousand feet of instrument cables hanging from the CalArts WaveCave gallery’s ceiling rigging grid. Small, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) flicker at the ends of the cables suspended around the room. Several pairs of headphones hang in the far corners of the gallery. After walking to one of the corners of the gallery and equipping themselves with a pair of headphones, and the accompanying small metal tin, participants can hear faint static. As they explore the room, radio broadcasts can be heard emanating from the cables. The tins, or EavesDroppers, empower visitors with the ability to sonically explore the electromagnetic energy hidden within the cables hanging in the chamber.
