blackbox
blackbox is an interactive art object created by Rick Bradley and Sean Jewett. This piece was shown at Nashville's Untitled Artists Group's Summer 2004 show "The Art of Collaboration".
blackbox generates an environment of jazz music, spoken word poetry, and printed-word poetry in response to controls engaged by the participant.
