This project is integrated with the artistic research project Simultaneous Arrivals, FWF AR 714-G.

Today, I cleaned up the studio. (We will have a visitor tomorrow). I wanted to connect the first reticule, with the currently eight plates, to a Pi to be able to just let it run some sounds. I made a very simple patch similar to the Shouldhalde layer in the interval 2 experiments on the rooftop. Kind of the other way around—now multiple parts of Shouldhalde could sound across the different channels, and they would be faints and chirpy, insectoid, due to the tiny diametres of the glasses and piezos. It can get strong in the high frequencies, I'm adding a soft low pass. While working on the laptop, I notice that the sounds mix very well with my playlist in Mixxx that goes out to the two JBL C1 in the studio. Precisely opposite of the rooftop. Now, I wonder if the reticules should indeed “live inside” a stronger broadband ambiance / articulation.
I made the photo thinking about the panel statement for Forum Artistic Research; how this nomadic situation extends to the way I have begun working. Would site-specific now refer to the group of artists-researchers “as a site’ instead of the physical site? I should think about this idea.

dimensions:
base: 240 x 200 mm
reticule grid: 24 x 10
reticule spacing: <10 x <10mm
single reticule extent: 2.75mm
quadruple reticule extent: 7mm
glass slides: 105 x 46 x 2mm
slide inclination: c. 19°
piezos: EPZ-35MS29 (ø 35mm)
The slides are actually the byproduct of Naya's stereoscopic project. They are not the same format as the bulk box of slides (actual slides), which are 70 x 70 x 1 mm. The float glass cuts at portrait ratio are much better. Thus we need order more of those.

Just passed through a reverberated sound, which is just amazing. Should investigate this type.

The slide grid seems to work with 4 x 3, thus yielding twelve channels. Or 6 channels with 6 relays.
If you “face” the slides, that would mean a sequence of 1 > 2 > 3 > 3 > 2 > 1, so an opening and closing of space.
The metal sculpture stands have around 20 cm elevation. How far can we get just with the thin copper wire? If we don't dump the electronics between the metal stands, c. 70 cm would be a good guess for cable length.
