Toledo-based Great Lakes Sound has equipped a new installation at the Toledo Museum of Art by artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, who explores the relationships of humans with nature and technology, with an accompanying sound reinforcement system utilizing Danley Sound Labs loudspeakers.
The installation, entitled “Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo,” represents the artist’s first solo presentation in the United States and her largest indoor installation to date. The exhibition is organized by Superblue and Jessica S. Hong, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Toledo Museum of Art. The artist partnered with a variety of technical consultants from Europe and the U.S., including Great Lakes Sound, Engineers Ltd, LightLab and Aurelia Sound Works, among others.
“The audio system features 24 Danley Sound Labs Cube loudspeakers individually zoned using DAS INTEGRAL-MA1604 amplifiers and networked over Dante,” says Conner Owen of Great Lakes Sound. “The lighting utilizes 69 Encapsulite (UK) 1.5-meter-long LED tubes hung at a raking angle throughout the room. eldoLED 180D drivers and 200-watt power supplies are hidden in a sub grid above the ceiling all custom painted to blend in with their surroundings.”
According to Owen, the entire system is then triggered via an iPad using Q-Sys Core Nano and CueCore3.
“Everything about the products we offer are about experience,” adds Jay Andrews, eastern regional sales manager at Danley Sound Labs. “Danley loudspeakers and subwoofers are frequently used in the arts and entertainment industry. Our speakers provide incredibly natural and high quality sound, making them perfect for an installation like ‘Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo’.”
“Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg – Machine Auguries: Toledo” is available at the Toledo Museum of Art now through November 26, 2023.
