In-ya-ear aims to connect strangers in public spaces. It creates a path from private to public through offering access to five different ‘happenings’ in a transient space. The installation is recreated in partnership with each local community and site. During the installation the public is invited to share their own music on portable speakers in Shuffle; be part of the short film Yawn and see it screened at the station; enter a ‘green haven’ and experience an audio work with a stranger in Strange Not Strange; play Crush Candy – the re-imagined real life version of the game app Candy Crush; and record a story then listen to it in verbatim sound work, Stories at the Station.
“In-ya-ear simultaneously captures the wonderful diversity and idiosyncratic nature of humans, their humor and their sometimes apathy.” Anna Tregloan, Curator of the Australian Exhibit for PQ15, 2015
