Sum of Days:
Carlito Carvalhosa




CARLITO
CARVALHOSA

MOMA
Through November 14, 2011
"Sum of Days, an environmental and participatory installation by the Brazilian artist Carlito Carvalhosa is a complex, elliptical network of pathways through a structure of translucent white fabric. . .

The maze of material incorporates a system of microphones that hang at various eights and record ambient noise; each day's sound is combined with the previous days' recordings and played back through several speakers inside the structure.  As each new layer of audio is added, the oldest noises gradually diminish into whispers, part of an auditory condensation that builds up throughout the duration of the exhibition..." from the signage at the exhibition.






"Sum of Days brings a new level
of meaning to this legacy
by realizing it on
an architectural scale, thus radically transforming
the experience of art 
as a participatory event".
