Andrew Schneider

Andrew Schneider has created an immersive, interactive, light and sound installation guiding each visitor through an internal monologue about grief, community, and the one-way-ness of time — with sound design by Bobby McElver, software engineering by Oren Shoham, produced with Miranda Wright and Los Angeles Performance Practice, and tour producer Jecca Barry.

They will offer two ways to experience the show. GUIDED–journey through the installation guided by an unseen narrator from Wednesday to Saturday, Feb 22 to 25, and through OPEN UNIVERSE, an entirely self-guided experience, on Thursday and Friday February 23 and 24.

GUIDED PERFORMANCE: A one-hour long crafted experience for up to 8 audience members at a time – this theatrical experience features a beginning, middle, and end, all guided by an unseen narrator.

OPEN UNIVERSE INSTALLATION: A self-guided experience through an open installation. You’ll have an entry time and can explore the space at your own pace. This experience often lasts 30 minutes.

It is first a guided narrative, then an interactive exploration. Visitors are invited to explore a warehouse-sized room that will eventually be filled with over 5,000 individually controlled points of light.

Using the 3D sound-spatializing technology Wave Field Synthesis and a room-sized tracking system, the technology behind this project allows us to pinpoint the precise location of every star and place a voice, a memory, a fleeting whisper at each – heard only there and nowhere else. The memories are community members’ stories, memories, thoughts, and recollections – recorded where the project is currently housed.

By the Way Berkshires is a digital magazine exploring creative life and community — art and performance, food and the outdoors — and I’m writing it for you, with local voices, because I’ve gotten to know this rich part of the world as a writer and journalist, and I want to share it with you.

If you’d like to see the website grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee and a cider doughnut. Members get access to extra stories and multimedia, itineraries a bookmark tool. Let me know what you're looking for, and we’ll explore together.
