Sound, Sight, Interaction exhibition in Brown, from Nov. 3 to Nov. 18th

A brief post about this exhibit. It was really interesting. I feel like most pieces there were deconstructions of sound and icons. I really loved the Michael Jackson piece which was a deconstruction of his music and physical transformation. Instead of going forward from when he was young, black and new, it was from when he was popular, white and his music was a sort of different. I felt like that was a deconstruction of his iconic image and how he went downhill. I just found that piece really interesting. Then there was this piece in a room that was a total optical illusion, I still don't get how it work but the piece hanging wasn't very expansive but one you looked inside or two people looked inside it went on forever. It was just so trippy. Then there was a piece with a guitar which I felt was an interactive piece but I didn't feel like i was allowed to partake in it. But I believe that was also a deconstruction and recreation of sound using the guitar as that stereotype cool, popular instrument that "anyone" can play. I believe we were supposed to pluck the strings sounds of some sort would play. But unfortunately that is all I can remember. It was definitely an interesting show.
