VIrtual Mirror - Sound
Giving space a voice

Architectural sound installation/intervention by Tao G. Vrhovec Sambolec

ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Virtual Mirror - Sound is an architectural sound installation/intervention, which listens to ambient sound of a specific interior or exterior space, analyses it, and then tries to imitate and emit that sound back into the space. It can use the architecture as if it was an external ear (pinna), or it can listen directly to the space in between the walls.

The Ten Women Gallery, Venice, invites you to submit to our annual
Dia de Los Muertos Group Invitation Window Event.

This window will be up the entire month of Oct, with the opening
reception on Friday Oct 2nd, in conjunction with Abbot Kinney's very
popular First Friday art walk in which galleries and shops remain open
until 10. In recent months we have seen a huge uptick of visitors on
First Fridays, so your work will be seen by hundreds of people.

This is a juried show. Enter up to three pieces. If your work is
selected there is a $20 fee for inclusion in the show.
Selections are based on pieces which work best together and for which
we have proper space. If your pieces are not selected for this show we
will keep you in mind for shows in the future.
