Touch Telephone | Carrie Schneider

Residency
Written By

Inspired by Two Stage Transfer Drawings by Dennis Oppenheim and Pauline Oliveros’ concept of deep listening, Touch Telephone is an evolving composition using touch instead of sound. Participants sit in a circle of hands on backs, wearing blindfolds and earplugs. Without the ambient senses of sight and sound, the participants react instead to one anothers’ transmission of the touch. Several scores play with the struggle of transmitting touch as a pre-lingual, simultaneous circuit.

Carrie Schneider: My work includes Care House; a video, sound, and material installation in the house I grew up in, Hear Our Houston; public generated audio walking tours and dérives, and Sunblossom; an evolving skill share between local creatives and kids who are refugees from Burma. I also write about art and dance Argentine tango every chance I get.
