On February 22, 2010, at precisely 3:18 pm David B. Smith and Heidi Prenevost set out on separate, but interlinked walks through the neighborhood of Gowanus, each recording video and audio of the entire walk. They started on busy and noisy Ninth street and zig-zagged north, passing each other on each of the Gowanus Canal’s four bridges. In the resulting sound file both audio tracks play simultaneously, one in each of the stereo channels. A video/text installation accompanies the sound, which displays text written by each artist related to what they encountered on their individual explorations.
