Carving in Possibilities by Deena Larsen, with sounds from Matt Hansen

Carving in Possibilities
by Deena Larsen, with sounds from Matt Hansen
Publicized in 2001

This is a very interesting piece. The idea of sculpting David through questioning phrases is a mesmerizing experience. This piece forces me to go back and replay it again and again since I was not able to go through it, It always comes to an end before I can go through all the lines. The sound effects and background music provides a strong build up. As one goes through the piece with their cursor, every movement pops out a new line and with the emergence of a new line a stone chipping sound goes with it. One will realize that as they move around, the face of david gets clearer and clearer.  This is a powerful piece and grasps ones attention as they are going through it. There are plenty questions and statements. some related to David some are not. It seem to calling for curiosity and self questioning as one goes through the process of carving david out of the blurry vision.
