David Toop from John Latham The Body Event

3 Sep-6 Sep 2009

Overview

'The Body Event', is a sound work for computer and voice made by David Toop in collaboration with John Latham in 2004. The resultant installation is made up entirely from Latham's speech, vocal sounds, pauses, breathing, actions, room sounds and ambient sounds from the street, extracted from an interview with the artist in which he describes his theory of event structure and time-base. 'The Body Event' will be reconfigured into a spatialised version for installation at Latham's home, Flat Time House.
