Re: Destruction

Re:destruction is a sound and video performance created by smashing a computer with a sledge hammer. It is the fourth piece in a series entitled Work by the artist and sound designer Daniel Perlin.

In re:destruction, a computer is smashed, using a sledge hammer, producing a sound as well as video work. The hammer and the computer are microphoned, sampled, amplified and played as instruments in real time.

Like the preceding pieces in the series, re:destruction is created by a single real-time sample of the sound of the act of labor, mixed with the use of the tool upon objects. In re:destruction, there is the addition of projected color video.

The Work series attempts to examine the implications of sound, noise and music in the processes of the building of physical structures.
The fourth performance piece in the series, re: destruction will be performed at Issue Project Room, Brooklyn, and dovetails with re: drill performed at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council gallery, re:construction 1 performed at Studio X and re:construction 2 P.S.1, New York.
