I feel no shame admitting that I had stuffed animals on my bed into my thirties. Despite being a grown adult with a day job, I still love and collect toys, and I especially have a sick fetish for Designer Art Toys. This is why the annual Five Points Festival is my jam. Thanks to this awesome blog, I was able to score press passes once again to this year’s Five Points Fest, which took place the first weekend in June.

Please enjoy this short clip taken from Christian Marclay’s Surround Sounds Video Installation. Surround Sounds, (2014-15) consists of animated onomatopoeias projected onto four walls of a darkened room, each running 13:40, and shown on a continuous loop.
To make the work, Marclay drew from a collection of comic books, cutting out sound effects and animating them in a choreography that suggests the acoustic properties of each word. “Whizz” and “zoom” speed across the walls; “beep” blinks persistently, while “thump” falls rhythmically onto the floor. Though silent, the work plays like a musical composition, merging the aural with the visual and providing an immersive perceptual experience.
The visuals above end at the 1:32 mark, but I kept the camera going for nearly 30 additional seconds, in case more fun stuff might come up. Sadly, we were at the end of the loop at that point, so, my bad. The video is 100% worth checking out if you happen to be in the area before the exhibit closes. Details on that are below.
Christian Marclay’s Surround Sounds Video is On View Thr0ugh October 17th, 2015 at Paula Cooper Gallery, Located at 534 West 21s1 Street in the Chelsea Gallery District.
