Doris Prlić
‘‘‘Take-away sound cube’’’
Weesperzijde, between Torontobrug and Grensstraat, Amsterdam
28 April 2012 from noon on

On set date a tiny cube can be found somewhere in a residential area in Amsterdam. As long as the integrated battery lasts, the cube will transport a sound from one quarter of Amsterdam to another. 

The element of surprise plays a crucial role in the intention of the artwork: both the duration of its exhibition and the exact nature of the object are unforeseeable and depend highly on its unknown beholder. Its end could be caused by the expiration of the integrated power supply, by destruction from external forces, by being taken away or used in other ways by passersby.
