This is part of a series of 17 geocaches placed near outdoor art installations. The geocaches will only be available until mid-October. For other geocaches in the series, see the bookmark list UCA 2018. You may also find helpful the following guide to the UCA geocaches: (link to google drive document).
If you notice any damage to the art installation, please mention it in your log. The cache owner will communicate with the artist.
This is a "multi" geocache. Go to the posted coordinates, and look for the art just to the north of the trail. Then answer the questions below to obtain the coordinates of the geocache.
NOTE: the artist has been working on making the installation fully functional. As of now, the sound part of the installation is not working. Answer the questions below as if the sound part was working.
1. What type of senses is the art intended to engage? A = 1 if visual only, 3 if sound only, 5 if visual and sound.
2. What is the art attached to? B = 1 if a bridge, 8 if a tree, 9 if a concrete post
3. Near the art is a man-made device that (also) makes strange noises. What is the above-ground part mostly made of? C = 3 if it is metal, 4 if it is wood, and 6 if it is cotton candy.
The geocache is hidden at N 45 05.6AB 64 20.8CC. Now go get it! If you want to check your answer, A+B+C = 16.
Stop 6: "Zip" by Jessica Winton
Artist's description of the installation: Traditional sculpture relies heavily on an embodied experience of the work. The size, texture and forms share the same space as the subject and are experienced in the round. The presence of the work is often understood by questioning the relationship to the body: is the work taller than me? Is it more massive? Does it seem delicate and fragile? These questions show the negotiation of space that occurs between a foreign entity and the viewer. Zip explores a different type of subject/object relationship - the body’s response when it triggers the audio recording, especially when this happens unexpectedly. I propose it will bring into focus the immediate environment, as the autonomic response to surprise is an increased awareness of the surroundings.
