“Flight” by Meridith Pingree. The sound of the footsteps is pitch-shifted it so low that the sound is barely audible, then amplified enough to create the live flapping motion in the bungee-suspended giant subwoofer creature.

“Dead Room” by Camille Norment.

For 3 minutes and 33 seconds at a time, eight large sub-woofers pulse a rhythm of bass frequencies that are too low for the human ear to actually hear. The space is silent, but the sound can be seen as the woofers throb their play cycles, felt as the sound waves move through the body creating a subtle intangible disturbance, and heard in the ‘helium voice’ disruption of the visitors’ voices.

»Evil Decoder (Ouiji Subwoofer)«, 2006. A modified subwoofer which vibrates a Ouiji Pointer over Ouiji letters, spelling out the sinister directives that have been encoded in all popular music as subliminal messages. By Jon Sasaki.
