Three 'Similar' Rooms




Over FWT, I went to an exhibition, Analog, at Blain|Southern. The exhibition consisted of works from a group of artists using sonic media to create installations in exploration of sensory (visual, auditory) perception.

In the exhibition was Max Neuhaus' Three ‘Similar’ Rooms, originally shown in Turin in 1989. This work consists of three adjacent, visually-identical rooms, each of which is permeated with a layered aural experience. Moving through the rooms, the subtle differences in each sonic atmosphere become intelligible, coloring the experience of physically being in that space without visual cues as to the origin of the sound.
