Center for the Arts sound installation: Stephen Vitiello

Internationally renowned sound artist Stephen Vitiello premieres a new installation based on unique insect recordings and micro sounds of the forest captured at Mountain Lake Biological Station in Pembroke, Virginia. Using a specialized laser recording device, Vitiello collaborated with evolutionary biologist Kasey Fowler-Finn to capture the sounds of insect movement on the stems and leaves of plants. These recorded sounds will be spatialized and manipulated at Virginia Tech's Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT) studios to reveal a hidden sound world that would otherwise be inaudible. This extraordinary inner world, until now undetected and unknown, will be revealed in the Cube for the first time and for only 10 days. Supported in part by ICAT and the University of Virginia and the Mountain Lake Biological Station's ArtLab.
