I was watching the second game of the NHL playoffs the other day. During one play, a 'Canes shot slid across the crease behind the Edmonton goalie after bouncing off a post. I thought about how that very unique sound might make a player feel, and how we as viewers react when we hear it. Then I had an idea for an art gallery installation. I would have a large room painted black, possibly with black fabric on the walls, and maybe some black velvet ottomans/seats. It would be a darkened and subdued room. A warm white light will glow down from the ceiling and up from the top of a black cube in the centre of the room. Hidden speakers will play one sound on a loop, which will also be the title of the show; "The Sound Of A Puck Hitting A Post".
