Installation
Part of My Mind Is Your EmotionsUntitled/ Sound Installation
James Beckett
The starting point of James Beckett’s installations are sources of sound that can be found everywhere in our daily environment but we do not observe as such (anymore). Beckett is interested in sounds that are the by-products of physical processes enabling electrical devices to work. For the installation exhibited at the IMPAKT Festival Beckett uses electrical devices on loan from the Museum of Energetics. A computer program written by Beckett will operate the devices in the installation to perform his compositions. James Beckett was awarded the Prix de Rome 2003 for Art and Public Space, a prize which he will receive at the end of June.
