Anthony Discenza: Exhibition


""Integer Composition" is a recent work consisting of a sequence of 1,000 randomly generated numbers read off by a synthetic voice. The work focuses attention on our uneasy relationship to the numerical statistics continually swirling around us. Though no context for these numbers is ever specified, the sequence conjures a range of associations, from population figures to corporate payout amounts. While our inability to fully process the stream of numbers eventually transforms the audio into a kind of white noise, the lack of specificity, set against the mind's inevitable attempt to search for meaning, generates an underlying anxiety that colors our experience."
