Sculptor/installation artist Deborah Aschheim and musician/composer
Lisa Mezzacappa have created a complex and fragile site-specific
installations that incorporate both sight and sound. Earworms began as
an experiment to preserve memory for language by transforming words
into songs (the title is borrowed from the German word Ohrwurm,
a term for a portion of a song that becomes stuck in a person's head
and repeats against his or her will.) The project has evolved into a
meditation on space, sound, and remembered realities, experienced
somewhere between the realms of installation and performance. The artists transform the project space into an immersive,
suspended network of video, light and sound based around three
individual "Earworm" sound sculptures/instruments.
