The Man Who Knew Too Much

The Man Who Knew Too Much is an absurdist performance where the artist becomes an auditory conduit for the soundscapes of Manhattan. Through a host of wearable electronics and performative gestures, the artist scrolls through the street as text, picking up and tuning in to electromagnetic fluctuations that he mixes into a clairaudient sonic narrative. It is a performance, a walk, a lecture and a sound intervention locating, revealing and amplifying the hidden, invisible and inaudible pollution of the urban environment, thereby affirming the act of listening as an politically active process and the street as an open and free performative space.
