Phase 3 International

Overview

This phase begins 6 April 2010 and sees the emergence of sound fragments beyond New Zealand and around the World in other galleries.


What sound fragments in other galleries will look like

Sound fragments in galleries around the World will follow the theme of the sound fragments found in Sanderson Contemporary Art. They will become increasingly complex in composition the further they are from the focal point in the primary supporting gallery.


How sound fragments will be created and distributed to other galleries

Sound fragments will be created and posted to galleries as they sign up. They will be prints on vinyl and may be displayed in any part of the gallery as long as it is visible to gallery visitors.


How time zones are distributed across the World

The map below illustrates how time zones will relate to the World. The time zones are proportioned in accordance with the Golden Ratio similarly to the time zones in Phase 1 and Phase 2.

Building on Phase 2, the performance continues from 2 hours, 46 minutes, and 40 seconds to 88 hours, 53 minutes, and 20 seconds. It is envisaged that there be at least one sound fragment per time zone during Phase 3.





Time zones are in minutes and seconds as follows:


  • Time zone 11: 00:23:37 - 00:38:13
  • Time zone 12: 00:38:14 - 01:01:52
  • Time zone 13: 01:01:52 - 01:40:06
  • Time zone 14: 01:40:07 - 02:42:00
  • Time zone 15: 02:42:01 - 04:22:09


It is important to note that the term ‘performance’ in the context of this installation does not mean a continuous flow of musical notes over a given period as this would require the musician to perform solidly for over four hours. Instead, ‘performance’ refers to a variable flow of musical notes over a given period where the musician may pause to reflect and/or re-energise before continuing on.
