A new site-specific soundwalk created by Tribeca Immersive Award-winning duo Point A (artists Andrew Schneider and Annie Saunders), in collaboration with astrophysicists and the local community. Accessed in public space with headphones, the walk is full of ‘was-that-part-of-it’ moments, sound activated by location and time of day, narration researched and recorded in Austin, and live interactions hidden in plain sight. Just another day, regular people doing regular things and then suddenly, magically synchronous. Like an eclipse.
CREATIVE TEAM:
Created collaboratively by Andrew Schneider and Annie Saunders
Producer: Dax Stringer
Production Stage Manager: Dátil de la Garza
This work was made possible by the Simons Foundation and is part of its ‘In the Path of Totality’ initiative and created in partnership with the Long Center, and produced in collaboration with Squeak E. Clean Studios.
Point A is a collaboration between interdisciplinary artists Annie Saunders and Andrew Schneider.
Together we create site-responsive artworks that combine performance practice, installation, interactivity, sound art, new technologies, and works for public space.
These have included two location-and-time-based soundwalks: Current, commissioned by Arts Brookfield and winner of the Tribeca Festival’s Immersive Award for Creative Nonfiction, and Kormós, a series of walks in Athens for the Onassis Foundation’s Plásmata exhibition.
These works were created with Marc Downie/OpenEndedGroup and Octopus Theatricals, and included creative collaboration with Emma O’Halloran and Jackie! Zhou/One Thousand Birds as well as numerous local creative consultants and contributors.
