Artists:
Jane Balfus
Jane Balfus is an American artist. Her multi-media installations focus on storytelling, using surveillance, consecration and found objects as a means to exalt and preserve the ordinary. Her pieces memorialize isolated or splintered moments–mundane, naive, or exceptional, and always in the presence of quiet beauty.

Most of his work touches in some way on the politics of sound in space, often in an urban, architectural context. He use a variety of media including interactive and locative technologies to uncover and reconfigure the aural environment.
