Project 3

Steven Libby
Navigator Artist Statement
            Navigator references our reliance on technology over actual lived experience. In the short sound piece, the character is so focused on following the GPS directions exactly, that he doesn’t realize when a glitch causes the program to drive him off a cliff.  The sound piece ends with a loud explosion as the car falls to the ground.  In a humorous twist on the expected, the character survives, completely unfazed, and exits his car and walks away nonchalantly.

            The sound piece uses recorded sounds of walking and driving, as well as found footage including explosion sounds, wind sounds, and typing sounds by some of the following people: lsprice, ALLANZ10D, tommccann, loofa, zxin, thanvannispen, RutgerMuller, Andy19, oceanictrancer, kangaroovindaloo, and michimuc2.  The footage was layered and cut apart to create a multifaceted sound narrative.
