Artist Statement:
In Shannon Novak’s String Section, blank walls and architectural features are transformed into musical instruments that the audience can interact with using a mobile device. When a smartphone or tablet is held up to a geometric form, the form animates and generates a single musical note. People can interact with the work alone or play with others to generate musical scores. The geometric forms visually and sonically disrupt the otherwise blank canvas of the environment, and disrupt social patterns of everyday flow.
