The BARBARD mixed media 2025
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A bar quietly singing stolen conversations.
Barbard is a project inhabiting a bar.
Customer’s conversations are transformed into songs that the bar softly sings to itself in real-time.
It is probable, though not necessary, that customers recognize their conversation in the music playing in the background.
Customers are anaware of the project, and are not its immediate audience.
