George Lewis and Douglas Ewart: Rio Negro

(rain sticks, chimes, bamboo, earth,
wood, robotics, sound files)
(1992/2007)


George Lewis and Douglas Ewart very kindly asked me to collaborate with them on a re-imagining of their 1992 sound installation Rio Negro for the Black Light White Noise: Sound and Light in Contemporary Art show at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (May 26 - August 5, 2007).

Douglas Ewart built the rainsticks and chimes and decorated the wooden stands and motors. George Lewis created the sound files and laid out the installation. I designed and built the wooden stands and robotic mechanisms for the rain sticks and chimes. We all helped create the bamboo/earth paths.
