Palace of Machinery is a haunting multi-screen video and sound installation that reanimates archival films made inside Pittsburgh’s Westinghouse factories. Projected at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, they offered visions of progress and spectacles of orchestrated labor at an uncertain time. Sounding a disorienting echo of these turn-of-the-century dreams, the installation evokes the past in the present and questions our own modern “palaces.”
The installation is a 30-minute experience from start to finish. Visitors are invited to half-hour cycles, and may get close to the films or sit in the middle of the space to immerse themselves in 100' of wall-to-wall projections and bathe in the vast soundscape. The artists will be present March 26 for informal discussions.
The exhibition runs all Spring, weekend evenings Friday/Saturday 5-10PM through Memorial Day. Private viewings by appointment Community@FEED.art
Suggested Donation: $5-$10

Stephan Moore is a sound artist working at the intersection of performance and interactive systems. His creative work is primarily concerned with the creation and perception of sonic environments, encompassing practices in field recording, physical programming, studio production, audio spatialization, loudspeaker construction and interactive software design. These often-collaborative projects manifest as sound installations, sound designs and scores for dance and theater productions, solo and group performance works and improvisations, generative compositions, and recordings. Moore holds an MFA in Integrated Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he studied with and later toured with Pauline Oliveros. He also has a PhD in Computer Music and Multimedia Composition from Brown University. He joined the Department of Radio, Television and Film

She received a Ph.D. in History at Indiana University in 2015 and a MFA in Documentary Media at Northwestern University in 2019. She is currently Assistant Professor in the School of Film and Photography at Montana State University in Bozeman.
