David Sanchez Burr makes work that is introspective of the play between a collective and the individual. Deeply inspired by democratic action, collaboration, inclusion and participation his work helps imagine our futures and serves as a starting point for ways of engaging the spectacle of our times. Through site specific installations, sound art, and performance, the artist creates a complex cacophony and set of harmonics that are stirred by the emergence of the audience: an itinerant community encouraged to navigate, modify, and help author the experience of the work.
