Earworms

Sculptor/installation artist Deborah Aschheim and musician/composerLisa Mezzacappa have created a complex and fragile site-specificinstallations that incorporate both sight and sound. Earworms began asan experiment to preserve memory for language by transforming wordsinto 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 headand repeats against his or her will.) The project has evolved into ameditation on space, sound, and remembered realities, experiencedsomewhere 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 threeindividual "Earworm" sound sculptures/instruments.
