Strange Attractor. The third in a series of 4-hour sound performances in the Crawford Gallery
Strange Attractor with Stephen Vitiello is the third in a series of 4-hour sound performances in the Crawford Gallery. Vitiello is an electronic musician and sound artist who transforms incidental atmospheric noises into mesmerizing soundscapes that alter our perception of the surrounding environment. He has composed music for independent films, experimental video projects and art installations, collaborating with such artists as Nam June Paik, Tony Oursler, Pauline Oliveros and Dara Birnbaum. In 1999 he was awarded a studio for six months on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center, Tower One, where he recorded the cracking noises of the building swaying under the stress of the winds after Hurricane Floyd. As an installation artist, he is particularly interested in the physical aspect of sound and its potential to define the form and atmosphere of a spatial environment.
