Taking inspiration from Foley artists, Man in Motion is a non-musical sound-track set to video clips of NFL football. By controlling the audience's auditory access to the video, Man in Motion illuminates both the violent and tender interactions that occur between the athletes on the field.
The sound performance to Man in Motion was presented at the MCA in collaboration with Billie Howard and Fyodor Sakhnovski, aka Amusia Collective.

Apophania is the tendency to perceive connections between seemingly unrelated things. The visual and the aural are separate modes of perception: we typically cannot see sounds or hear colors. Yet, we tend to correlate certain aural qualities with seemingly unrelated visual qualities. A synth wash can seem to pair with a billowing sheer curtain; quick stuttering changes in volume can seem to correspond to ripples in the water. Apophanies is an ongoing series of videos exploring the perceived connections (and disconnections) that we tend to make between the aural and the visual.
