85 Decibles, Baby!

The third in a series of process works investigating sound in public space, 85 Decibels, Baby! is a durational performance work in which all the sounds of the city are attended to for 8 hours. 

Exclusively for Anode, the artist will be situated on the Corner of Bourke and Elizabeth Sts, Melbourne for the time-frame of a traditional working day and the duration deemed 'safe' to listen to 85 decibels - that of city traffic from inside a car.

Lauren Brown

Influenced by conceptual and installation arts practice, Lauren’s project-based work is primarily concerned with structure and its relationship to the public and politics: the physical structure of architecture and infrastructure; the metaphysical structure of rhythms, cycles and habits; or the antithesis of these in destruction and entropy.
