Non Sequence documents opposite banks of the Hudson River in a double-frame audio-video installation. A work that adapts to various physical frameworks, Non Sequence investigates the interdependence between visual and auditory experience. Each component loops in its own duration, all different from each other, creating a slow but infinitely permutational space. In the video channels, trees and waves seem to ease into place while animals, boats, and trains glide soundlessly across the frame in realtime. The audio, taken from one side of the river in the early morning, is equalized to remove recognizable auditory referents. Skeen translates her site-specific research, which acknowledges the socioeconomic division between the eastern and western banks, into a listening strategy that she describes as “auditory attention placement.” Situating herself on the corresponding sides of the river, she traces the affordances each vista provides as she transmutes her durational audio recordings into visual fields. Her repeated listening activity suggests the permeability of the human sensory apparatuses.
