Canadian artist Janet Cardiff’s ”The Forty Part Motet,” is deceptively simple in appearance: a spare room occupied solely with a ring of black speakers on stands. But once the first collective breath of the virtual choir begins, and the forty part harmonies of Thomas Tallis’s masterful choral work ripple throughout the gallery, the “mind-boggling” complexity of her sound sculpture becomes apparent. |

Interview med Janet Cardiff og George Bures Miller i forbindelse med udstillingen Something Strange This Way på ARoS 2014-15 |

Here is an attempt to document our 2nd piece made for dOCUMENTA (13). Viewers are given an ipod and headphones and asked to follow the prerecorded video through the old train station in Kassel. The overlapping realities lead to a strange, perceptive confusion in the viewers brain. Hard to document and harder to explain. We only present the recorded audio here, but when doing the walk the real sounds mix with the recorded adding another level of confusion as to what is real and what is fiction. Wear headphones to get the full effect of the original binaural recording. |

A 2.5 minute excerpt from 10 minute art installation by Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller. A computer controls the flow of water, the lights, the strobes, and the fans, etc. An ambisonic sound track plays through 8 hidden speakers and 2 hidden subwoofers. The piece begins as the storm approaches, with no water hitting the windows, then proceeds to the incredibly loud, floor shaking climax (sorry you can’t hear this on Youtube). As the storm dissipates the sound of someone moving and coughing in the next room is heard and then the piece starts again. This work was created in a deserted dentist’s office in a traditional Japanese house near the city of Tokamachi, Japan as part the Echigo Tsumari Art Triennial 2009. |

This is a 6 minute excerpt from a 13 minute art installation by Janet Cardiff and George Bures MIller.
Entering a plain plywood box the viewers sit in a plush balcony overlooking a hyper-perspective model of an old cinema. They don headphones and through the use of binaural recording the lines between various realities are blurred and sometimes crossed. LIsten with headphones to hear the piece as you would in the installation. Watch in a dark room and turn up the brightness on your monitor. If the video skips, pause it and wait for it to buffer for a 10 seconds. The Paradise Institute was produced for the Canadian Pavillion at the Venice Bienialle in 2001. The project was curated by Wayne Baerwaldt for Plug In Inc., Winnipeg. |
