My sculpture called “Minding the Boundaries-Beginning of Rainbow”

is featured in the new Nikon ad staring Ashton Kutcher.

The shoot took place at the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills

and the piece looked great against Gary Lang’s work.

I got a call from my friend Doug Aitken about 5 years ago.

He asked if I could design and build a custom playback engine

to capture the realtime sounds of the earth.

After some blood sweat and tears it is finally complete.

Roughly one hole a mile deep, six microphones,

lots of cable, a massive 1200w subwoofer

plus a computer are all you need to hear the sounds of the earth!

Heres a sample of the earth…..enjoy…D

Ill be posting a few things here …..
