The work is an audio-visual, interactive installation that is part of the Embrace! show at the Denver Art Museum.

I am one of the members of a collaborative team led by Timothy Weaver that includes Josh Fishburn, Brigid McAuliffe, and Nick Myers.

The show officially opened on November 14th, 2009 and our work is installed in the FuseBox Gallery on the 4th floor.

I created sound design compositions using the Solar Wind Harp, a software instrument I designed, in collaboration with Dr. George Millward of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. The software allows real-time performance of soundscapes as it translates solar wind data from the NASA ACE satellite. These compositions are one component of a complex "data-ecosystem" that is always in flux, creating unique experiences with each visit to the space.

The exhibition runs through April 4th, 2010.
