Aural Topographies: Field Trip

These are just two of the many installations we saw at the exhibit. These two stood out the most to me because they involve tangible music, something that we aren’t very used to in this day in age. The records hanging on the wall are actually colleges made by the artist who interpreted each genre of Mexican music and created separate pieces to come together in this work. This is very similar to the assignment given to us which is why I found interest in it. The second image is stack of records, exemplifying the difference between the way we listened to music then as compared to today. While in todays technological society we can fit thousands of songs into a handheld device; when records were prominent you would need to have dedicated and entire room to fit all that music into once space. This is why I found that particular piece so interesting.
