Elevator Pitch:
Three light sensors (LDRs) interact with two CRT displays to manipulate and reconstruct pop music in real time using granular processing. Using the amorphous medium of light challenges the notion of certainties in pop ideology, and its interplay with sound perhaps uncovers the uncanny point (in between the two) where such ideologies reside (meta)physically. One display shows a compilation of pop videos, the other an audio visualization of the newly processed sound (feedback loop). The third LDR controls a master reverb, which, unlike the other two sensors, decreases as they are exposed to light.
