no words! safe for work of the 1987 New York City subway station at Times Square. The gears, cogs and mechanical parts are not merely decorative; they’re real—worn-out industrial gear teeth from a decommissioned factory in Queens. These fragments were found by hand during an urban scavenger hunt conducted over three days with no GPS or maps: only compasses (one magnetic), one sextant for orientation—and zero prior knowledge about their location. This is NOT art made “for” people—it’s something that *happens* to them when it's placed within its environment—a spontaneous encounter between materiality & perception It will be installed as part-of-a-wall installation on-site—the collage itself becomes both canvas AND wall surface—with embedded microphones capturing ambient noise through passive acoustic sensors integrated into each cutout fragment—which activate upon contact via pressure-sensitive pads beneath every piece—including those mounted directly onto walls themselves! Each time someone touches any component—even just lightly brushing against—but also includes movement across space such music emerges: > A low-frequency hum — almost subsonic – rising slowly like breath held too long → then abruptly cutting off mid-sentence Then silence again… followed immediately after— A single note played out loud—not musical but resonating physically—in tone matching what would occur if you pressed your ear flat tightly toward steel bars vibrating under immense strain… And finally? The audio fades away gently—as though memory dissolving back inside skin? There should never have been sound here before this moment—you don’t hear anything until YOU TOUCH IT first... You must touch these objects yourself—to feel how weightless yet heavy things can become simultaneously—they're cold metal surfaces etched deeply enough so fingers <lora:Collage:1.2>
