In 2014, the Museum&#8217;s director Tony Kanellos invited me to produce a contemplative soundscape for the space.

I worked with Fiona to create the video element for Grove, derived from footage she shot in Sri Lanka of traditional tree-felling and wood-cutting. When a visitor approaches the installation, a motion sensor starts replay of the video. Its sound is delivered through a large tile of hardwood fixed in front of the screen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"alignright\" style=\"font-size: 11px;\">gary warner 2014<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>___<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>museum soundscape and visitor informational video<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Santos Museum of Economic Botany at the Adelaide Botanic Garden, South Australia, is, in the words of Peter Emmett the historian\/curator\/writer who oversaw its 2009 revitalisation, &#8220;&#8230;another realm &#8211; a theatre of High Victorian ornamentation in the Greek-revival style&#8230; layered with substances, specimens and crafted objects.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":38,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=745"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":780,"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/745\/revisions\/780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdpmedia.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
