Talking to a Fish and Paraphernalia

  



Here are some images of my installation including some still images of the animation. This is one of the works in my show on view at Freight + Volume in New York.  The exhibition is on view through October 21st.

 

My favorite additions to the tank are the plants.  The moss ball will not take root and can roll around the bottom if there is a great enough current.  It's sort of like tumbleweed in water.

 
 

I added a heater to keep the water around 75 degrees.

In the image above, the silver and black instrument is a hydrophone.  It is an underwater mic.  Sound from the aquarium is broadcast directly to monitors.  The yellow box contains a small speaker projecting sound into the water.
