Two, ten-foot tall subwoofers rise out of the darkened gallery like immense industrial smokestacks on a tanker ship. These stacks quake the building in waves of deep vibrations that collapse the gallery into a single breathing sound-sphere. As viewer and structure rock in tandem, Peters’ installation demonstrates the power of sound to knit disparate spaces together: the body, the harbor, the mass of container ships out at sea, and the distant churnings of our industrialized world. These indexical recordings serve as a document of our supply chain, evoking our abstract relationship to a system that’s too massive to grasp.
