The Distributed Exhibition extends the Audible Observatories show beyond the confines of the gallery. This experimental supplement expands out to the streets of San Francisco. Each of the works in the Distributed Exhibition have been placed in publicly accessible locations that resonate with the works themselves. This project develops a location specificity which carefully layers audio and video works over top everyday experiences of the city. The expanded scope and range of the distributed exhibition allows us to connect with different audiences, creating possibilities for generating of new art publics.

Our interactive posters. Participants require a smart phone to view or listen to the works in the Audible Observatories distributed exhibition. The works are streamed to the mobile devices via direct internet connection or via an augmented reality application and location specific software.
