The relationships between sound, language, space, performance (process), and whatever else effects the moment are all fun to contemplate and decode.  I just happen to catch a moment in time with the artist demonstrating the audio elements of the installation to his guests.  Had he not been there,  it would have been a very different experience on various levels.  If there was an invitation to interact/participate, it wasn't clear,  though ultimately, not necessary since the reception of the work seems to complete somewhere between site and mind. Less mutliplicitous were the non, time-based works no matter what they would suggest abstractly about limitless potentials. Alas, language is totally insufficient to appreciate the work, and, apparently, so is my post, since I'm not sharing an audio sample. Should have been there.
