À propos

The Sensation of Distribution connects the exploration of acoustic pipe resonance with a more domestic vernacular. Mounted on NAISA’s exterior walls to impersonate furnace vents and also erupting from the ground, this interactive public art sound sculpture re-invites visitors to explore the unnoticed or imminent sonic and aesthetic potential of our built environment.

"The Sensation of Distribution" is a reprise of Mitchell Akiyama and Brady Peters’s 2019 work, "The Distribution of Sensation", which they created while artists in residence at The Bentway, a large, urban public space situated under an elevated highway in downtown Toronto. Like the work at NAISA the previous version was a sound sculpture composed of PVC pipes installed around The Bentway that invited visitors to listen through the natural resonance of the cylinders, creating a series of musical experiences across the site. Mimicing the plumbing infrastructure of the site, the installation was meant to create aesthetic slippages that might potentially lead to confusion as to what exactly functioned or counted as art.
