Float began as a series of sculptures made from found marine wreckage — foam injected rubber tires, used as buoys and moorings for boats, recast in bronze. Using contact microphones, field recordings, strings, horns and a tape machine, EVAN HARDY and ALEX TEDLIE-STURSBERG set out to embody the life cycle of the float through sound — capturing corroded surfaces in an exploration of the passage of time. Float encourages a reevaluation of our relationship to and participation in matter. The wheel reinvents itself as an active agent in its own transformation — eroding the boundary between subject and object.
