Overexcited Recaptures is a sonic walkthrough of a room rerecorded into itself. Sounds generated by and particular to the exhibition space will be gathered and repeatedly reproduced to generate a gradually changing, rich and resonant acoustic body. Reflective and absorptive surfaces will be introduced into the installation to spatially displace the architecture of the gallery and turn it into a polymorphous acoustic mirror.
A one-hour performance will take place daily. Afterwards, acoustic and physical residues of the previous event will remain visible and audible in the space until the next performance.
Hours : Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 6pm
Performances : Tuesday – Saturday, 5pm – 6pm
Kabir Carter ’s work moves between sound, performance, and installation, and focuses on the history and effect of acoustic communications technology on both private space and the public sphere. Employing speech, acoustic resonance and feedback, analog sound synthesis, radio broadcasting and reception, environmental sound, and specialized microphone technologies, he uses strategies borrowed from psychoacoustics, audio production, and architecture in his work.
His sound, performance, and installation work has been presented at 16Beaver, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Diapason, d.u.m.b.o. arts center, PS122 Gallery, Share, Socrates Sculpture Park , and The Stone in New York , as well as in California , Florida , Massachusetts , and New Jersey . He has staged realizations of his installations in public spaces since 2002, and has been a member of the analog sound synthesis ensemble Analogos since 2005. Carter has been an artist-in-residence at LMCC/Workspace: 120 Broadway, and received awards from the American Music Center, the Experimental Television Center, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Media Alliance, Rhizome, and Roulette for his work
