ABSTRACT
The project describe in this chapter is a collaboration between art, anthropology, and science. It provides an insight into the ways that decisions and outcomes emerge as responses to challenges and opportunities inherent in the materials and therefore evolve in the process of making art work. The project was conceived in terms of three sorts of material, all of which would be recorded on the site. The first, comprising for the most part sound recordings, would show the inner life and physical structure of aircraft sound. The second type of material would be mostly film and photographs, shot using a high-definition, still camera that would provide detail, color, and scale to the sounds as they resonated in the exterior world of the farm and the airport. The third type of material was archive film, which we projected onto spaces of the site and then filmed.
