An audio collage using audio from years of field-work recording the sounds of demonstrations—and law enforcement surveillance of them—in Demarco’s job as a news reporter. When performed live in a darkened space, she incorporates light-sensitive oscillators and asks the audience to light candles. The oscillators slowly overtake and disrupt the raw protest audio as the lumens increase in the room, and then she blows them out.
