White Shred uses shredded documents containing
sensitive personal information as its sole source material. The shredded
pieces, derived from financial and health documents, were incorporated
in myriad ways and forms. Paper fragments were assembled and glued
down on canvas to create a three dimensional score, as well as an
instrument to be played and recorded. A photograph of the score was
brought into a computer visual/sonic translator and employed to produce
an electronic synthesized version. Finally the score was utilized
as a source for vocalization by a reading of the text fragments found
within its layered surface. White Shred is the product of bringing
together information that was once critical, then discarded, then
mutilated, and ultimately recycled into a reconstituted sound form:
Garbage as music.
