A Space Traversed with Signals examines the space between individuals in the act of conversation. The work questions not the spoken words, but rather the gaps and micro-gestures within the dialogue situation, which can be understood as occupying the space of partial unpredictability – or rather a quasi noise state. Within this installation the viewer is positioned in the midst of the corridor of communication between speakers, inhabiting the fluctuating noise space between the two individuals.
