Encounters is a sound experiment between a fork-dragging sculpture, a hacked radio-turned-theremin, and other altered daily electronics. These hybridized noisemakers are programmed to reenact patterns found in human conversation. The sounds produced by the machines fluctuate throughout one day, oscillating between three modes: arguing, mirroring, and silence. This audio piece is a composite of the three modes, derived from three recordings of the day-long performance.
