SONIC SHADOWS, SF MOMA 2010-2011
Commissioned by SFMOMA in honor of the museum’s 75th anniversary, Sonic Shadows uses a network of high-tech vibration sensors and speakers to transform central features of this building into musical instruments, creating a live acoustic translation of the architectural space surrounding the fifth-floor pedestrian bridge.
Commissioned by the SF Museum of Modern Art, Echoes is a direct response to SONIC SHADOWS, by Bill Fontana, a sound installation that has played in the Occulus of the MOMA for the past year.
Using the architectural lines of the building, the surface design of the bridge and the sound coming from the boiler room, Deborah Slater Dance Theater created a movement response, a dance in space to be seen from below, above, from the side and straight on.
