Alistair Gentry has been artist in residence in Stirling over the last few months. Through digital processing, many hours of recordings made in and around Stirling have been extracted, magnified and looped electronically. There are nearly one million permutations of the sounds that have been discovered through this process and generative software navigates its way through all of them. The constantly changing stream of sound in the gallery may at times suggest stories or questions. Why is there jazz in the radiators? How many faxes, phone calls and text messages are passing through you right now? The gallery also has an area where visitors can sit, listen to the work, or tune out for as long as they wish. They may also browse Alistair Gentry's websites and read his books. For the enjoyment of other visitors to the gallery, the artist requests that all mobile phones are switched ON and that you talk about something interesting.
