Installation View: Consensual Listening, 2019, Rory Fitzgerald Bledsoe & The Experiential Industry, 2017, Furen Dai
Consensual Listening is an interactive installation and continuing project. Materials for the tapes are sourced from my personal archives, specifically, Voice Memos. They are intimate audio collages intermingling: field recordings, self-surveillance, reenactments of self-surveillance (i.e., dramatized text message exchange), recordings of performance work and constructed materials (i.e., monologue). Consensual Listening questions our contemporary notions of simulation, creation and appropriation.
