Cain Czopek, Photography & Image Transfers

This multi-object installation, involving visual, physical, and sonic materials, treats the representation of place like a slot machine, where image, material, and sound slide against each other. Each piece consists of a photographic print transferred onto the surface of an unrelated physical object. The objects themselves further serve as resonating surfaces— as loudspeakers the objects give voice to soundscape recordings. The sounds eventually move from one object to another following algorithmic spatial trajectories. While all photographs, materials, and sounds were taken from specific sites along the Front Range, the result the artists' reconstructions keeps any particular notion of place up in the air.Â
