382 serves as a collection of voices, a continuous and organic flow of requests for materials within the ChiTech art room. This piece started as a means to document the daily interactions that take place within a space, using everyday exchanges as the dialogue for my work. I wanted a way to visually track the amount of times I was asked for materials. The audio recordings span from the beginning of the year, starting in October, and extend through to the present. Each time I was asked for a material, I voice recorded the individual and then translated the audio into an ongoing painting. It was the voices, the individual personalities, and the interactions I had with the individuals that became the piece, not the actual question for the material. What began as an an aspect of the art room that I showed little patience for, started to transform into work that intrigued me, made me laugh, and often amused me and the individuals that asked for the items. The recordings captured the type of day the individuals were having; the voices showed confusion, complete frustration with me, and often humor and appreciation for the attention given. The work is installed as an extension from the art room, hung in the doorway, the space that most questions were asked. The paper extends from the door, connecting the art room, and overflows into the hallway, allowing the abundance of questions. The painting is presented as worn, ripped, and held together with tape to show the history of the wear and tear of existing in the art room for the year. These marks become a visual history. During exhibition, the ChiTech community can interact with the work as they see fit, whether walking over it, adding to the marks and tears, jumping over it in amusement, listening to the diverse and endearing personalities of the audio piece, or simply continuing to ask “Dudik, Do you have any duct tape?”
