If you have passed our studio in the evening, you may have seen a rear projection installation in our window that faces E. Passyunk Avenue. University of Delaware professor,
Ashley Pigford was inspired to create this site-specific piece after observing the diverse activity that unfolds at our intersection.
We will be having an opening and discussion on Thursday March 19th. Hope you can come.
P'unk Avenue Active Intersection
A new Sound Installation by Ashley John Pigford
Opening / Discussion: March 19, 6pm-9pm.
Hosted by P'unk Ave
1168 E Passyunk Avenue, Philadelphia PA 19147
In Ashley's own words:
A camera records activity of the
intersection of E. Passyunk Avenue and Federal Street in South Philadelphia. The amount of activity is translated into a constantly updating audio composition that is broadcast through low power FM in the area of the installation. Additional audio of the intersection, recorded live, is mixed into the broadcast composition and the composite video image of the camera is projected into the window of P'unk Avenue. This piece is intended to be experienced as an active participant of the intersection, with your radio tuned to the FM frequency that is projected in the window, or as an observer.
