LoBot Gallery presents There is Nothing to See- a sound-based group
show that explores the outer limits of sonic experience.

Opening Reception: Saturday January 7, 2006 at 7:30 p.m.
Show Closes: Sunday, February 5, 2006


Running the gamut from the unsettling (Joe Colley's sculpted mouths
that emit animal distress calls) to the sublime (Peter Regli's broken
glass symphony), There Is Nothing To See is an aural train wreck of
colliding techniques and processes.

Angel Sanchez-Borges resurrects Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix for a
virtual jam session. Sarah Filley translates EEG readouts of a brain
in the throes of a seizure for her composition, Cerebral Score.
Jorge Boehringer's record (fashioned from a felled redwood tree
stump) grinds endlessly through the locked grooves of the tree's
growth rings. Tom Grimley's exquisitely handcrafted instruments play
themselves, as do Albert Ortega's Wal Wart(s). For a more intimate
experience, stick your head inside Sandy De Lissovoy's audio cone or
crawl inside Jacqueline Gordon's sound-gathering geodesic dome.
Betty Jo Costanzo's tin can phones provide the lo-fi/no-tech
counterpoint to the entire (dis)array.
