The Elevated Examination of the Cartesian Split

Created by Merry Conway and Noni Pratt, this audio piece features a man’s voice calmly describing the objects in his parent’s house. According to the artists, “The installation presents an elevation of the Cartesian split, in which a disembodied voice fills the cavity of the elevator cab with a teeming description of material objects, addressed to the bodily presence of the hapless elevator ride.’
