Tin Cans over Pennsylvania, 2006
Casey Droege and Rebecca Grady
Tin Cans, Audio Track, Map of Pennsylvania.
Two Chicagoans transplanted in the booming metropolises of Pennsylvania
chart the downtown centers. Both started from "the fountain"
and simultaneously began heading east. When one hit a dead end, each
would turn, left and then right and so on, constantly following the
city streets. Their analogous paths led them throughout Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia, at moments both stumbling upon the same drugstore, the
symphonies, or, of course, a certain Seatlle coffee shop.
This mapping culminated in an audio installation. One tin can plays
the Pittsburgh walk while the other plays the Philadelphia walk.
