Osgood

Scarf representing sound data from the Osgood River. We were honored to create this piece as part of the Listening to Water exhibit developed by our friends at Talking Rivers. The exhibit was held at the Brush Gallery at St Lawrence University and explored the rights of rivers with art and a series of events.  This piece was made by creating a 48-hour recording of sound next to the Osgood River in Paul Smiths, NY and translating the resulting data into a pattern of color representing natural (blue) and human-caused (gold) sounds recorded during that period. As described in this blog, Osgood highlights the prevalence of human sound in some of our most cherished and protected places.
