LINE presents Synchronizing Uncertainty, a documentation of the sound installation of the same name by artist Brian House. The original installation was exhibited at ArtYard in Frenchtown, NJ, June 21 – September 21, 2025
A single oscillator pulses with a regular rhythm. Sensing others, it adjusts to fall into sync.
It happens throughout nature and culture—with the sounds of crickets, the lights of fireflies, the cells of your heart, a clapping audience, the lockstep of soldiers, the chant of a protest. Equilibrium, however, is elusive—synchrony is never entirely complete or stable.
286 autonomous, pulsing circuits populate a large gallery space. Each embodies a nonlinear listening mechanism tuned to its neighbors. The circuits activate spontaneously, but they may also be triggered by the movement of visitors. Cascades of rhythms result as the system negotiates its polymeters.
