Tin Sheds Gallery, Sydney University, 2004.
” . . . The installation consists of 9 lengths of PVC electrical conduit, each containing a loudspeaker in a sliding mount which can be moved up and down inside the pipe, increasing or decreasing the volume of activated air within the pipe and consequently changing its resonant frequency.
A contour map of the summit of Mt Fuji locates the pipes relative to one another in the installation, and the position of the sliding speaker mount within each pipe is determined by contour height, so each pipe produces a distinct tone depending on its relationship to the map, and of course beyond it, to the real flesh of Mt Fuji. . “
