Video for Sound Space (2018) by Troy Ramos

What a great summer and fall! Mama mia! Many of you may remember that I was selected by ArtPrize for their Pitch Night Detroit Award back in May, which meant they awarded me $5,000 to create a new sound and light installation that was featured at ArtPrize 10 in Grand Rapids. It went smashingly great! Thousands of visitors came to see my work, I was on the ArtPrize public vote leaderboard for most votes during the entire festival and the reviews and feedback were fantastic!

Thank you to everyone who supported me and came out, to ArtPrize and to my friends and family for their continued support! 

This video is a three minute synopsis of what it was like to walk around the space and you get to hear some of the sounds, as well. This work, the lights, sounds, everything, was created specifically for the space and was designed to be a reflective space for visitors to experience themselves, or whatever they wish.

This work will be hosted again at another venue in the near future. But until then, please enjoy this video!

And here’s a link to some media interviews I did:
