ALFRED HILL

Is the energy of a place its true identity? I placed a vibration sensor on Alfred Hill — the hills surrounding Alfred University, where I completed my graduate studies — to capture the frequency of its movements. This data is transmitted wirelessly to a ceramic bowl in the studio, where a vibration motor causes the bowl and its sand surface to tremble at the exact same frequencies. When the ceramic bowl vibrates in unison with the hill, does the sand pattern on its surface become a portrait of Alfred Hill itself?

一个地方的能量是否就是它真正的身份？我在阿尔弗雷德山——我研究生求学的学校周围的山丘——安置了一个振动传感器，记录它的运动频率。这些数据通过无线传输到工作室里的一只陶瓷碗，碗内的振动马达以完全相同的频率带动碗和碗面上的沙子颤动。当陶瓷碗与山丘同频共振，碗面上的沙纹是否就成为了阿尔弗雷德山丘本身的面孔？
