h0me z0nes (2020) ongoing virtual installation

What is a site-specific installation for a community in quarantine? “h0me z0nes” is a virtual gallery space where users can engage (from any internet capable device) with a collection of community sourced, home field recordings while traversing a magic carpet floating in space. Originally intended as a site-specific installation examining the relationship between acoustics and identity, h0me z0nes reimagines how a space dependent project can function during a period of community isolation and breaks open the criteria that constitute terms like site-specificity, identity and community.

After being forced into a practice of quarantine homesteading and performance live-streaming, I yearned for the opportunity to share an acoustic space with my buds. In an attempt to link our individual acoustic spaces into one, I created the h0me z0nes meditation ritual, and asked friends to perform and record the ritual to hear how our individual spaces are reflections of our identities and how those sonic identities could interact online. Check out the project at h0me z0nes HQ

h0m3 z0nes is a work in progress — my first project utilizing virtual reality chat rooms.
