Smash SMASH Consolidated Works Gallery, Seattle The final gallery exhibition inspired by the imminant destruction of the gallery. The 2- 5' diameter "wrecking balls" hang on giant chains on either side of an exhibition wall. The wall and balls have microphones in them so as the audience smashes the balls through the wall (destroying the wall) the tone of the balls striking the walls or each other are then modified and deepened through amplified subwoofers and re--verb that echoes the resonant "smash" throughout the building. Victorian healing color and light theory matched specific colors to symptoms. Standing in the colored light was said to heal you of your condition. This practice led to the popularization of stain glass windows in residential homes. Healing through the hydrolux
