Bye Bye Buddy (B.B.B.)

by Adam Sheppard and Jacqueline Gordon

Bye Bye Buddy is a piece designed for a vibrating membrane and a resonant space. By attaching a circular array of tactile transducers to the rear facing side of a fiberglass satellite dish we have successfully given life to a once discarded object. The dish was found at the art studio spaces on the campus of Stanford University and is roughly 3~4 m in diameter. It is presently installed in the old carriage house of the Knoll.
