About Uncertain Times: the Audio Art

  

What tips or tricks do you have for living in uncertain times?

How do you cope when things feel unpredictable or out of your control? 


Friends, acquaintances, and strangers were asked these questions in June 2025 and invited to anonymously record their responses on a voicemail hotline I set up. Voicemail snippets were then extracted, arranged, juxtaposed against each other, and scored to original music. Scroll above to listen to the piece.


Thank you to all who participated! 


The "Uncertain Times" project—both its visual and audio components—premieres at the Uproar Festival of Public art, which runs August 1–23, 2025 in Orange County, North Carolina. More about Uproar can be found below.

About

This project comprises a 2D artwork and accompanying audio piece. The Uproar Festival of Public Art runs August 1 through 23, 2025 in Orange County, North Carolina (USA) and is presented by the Orange County Arts Commission, a unit of Orange County government, and the Orange County Arts Alliance, its 501(c)3 nonprofit partner.   


From the Uproar website: Sixty bold, high-impact, outdoor works of art will be showcased throughout the downtown communities of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough, North Carolina, and cash prizes will be awarded based on public voting and a jury panel of experts. 

More than 140 artists from throughout the southeast applied to be a part of Uproar. Sixty artists were selected from six states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. (Felix Obelix is one of them.)
