Sound Circuit is an interactive wall-mounted web of electronic circuits removed from sound-emitting toys. Each one is mounted on a base and equipped with motion and light triggering devices, causing each toy to momentarily switch on in no particular pattern. The overall effect is of a hectic, specialized soundscape made up of fragmentary, intermittent, yet recognizable snippets of cell phone/Toys R Us sound samples. What first appears to be an incomprehensible maze of wires and circuits, in time reveals a narrative sequence of causes and effects in which sonic and visual information are inextricably intertwined.
