Untitled [Headset], 2007

A pair of headphones is altered so that one earpiece becomes a microphone, picking up its own sound from the speaker and creating a continuous live feedback loop. The headset hangs on the gallery wall, humming and vibrating, but when the listener is wearing them the signal is disrupted.  The silence serves as a blunt metaphor for the inability to understand infinity (your head gets in the way).

 Installed at Blackwood Gallery alongside  Nothing [for Robert Barry],  as part of the exhibition Volumes, curated by Christof Migone.
