The very nature of wilderness suggests untamed. Untamed could suggest dark or sinister. Certain aspects of nature are completely locked into our collective memory as definitions of the sinister. Nature at its most sinister is under the blanket of night. Sound becomes a tangible indication of being surrounded by something wild. When humans encounter this situation it becomes apparent that they are no longer in control and that moment lies the realization that wildness still exists. The lack of control may induce fears that in turn create fantasy.
All of this comes back to our original notion of site authenticity. I'm interested in how sound could act as a catalyst to enhance a viewer's acceptance of 'valid experience' via a controlled environment/installation where sight & sound challenge collective fears and doubts about the human species' control over wildness. More to come...
