Chapter Fourteen is a loop-based improvisatory work that highlights the need for a post-critical evaluation of the current state of human rights in the United States; particularly, those rights pursued by LGBT communities. 

As an organic piece, Chapter Fourteen does not have a set time or strict direction: the performer crafts an experience based on the then-current needs in society in terms of human rights and equality. Currently, effects are incorporated in order to bridge the gap between not only the three modes of listening (local, global, meta), but to accentuate this transit through an electro-mechanical scope. Similar to conflicting radio broadcasts, audio clips ebb and flow to give off a sense of erraticism. Eventually, some clips are taken over by the machine as technology itself urges people to listen to what is going on.

Due to the educational nature of this work, all sources are either in compliance with CC and Public Domain deriv guidelines or are news and TV clips from YouTube. I do not claim to own these particular clips, nor pursue compensation for this work in its current state. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me and I would be happy work with you.
