OutOut Houses is an installation consisting of 4 small rooms. The rooms are freestanding but connected by 10-foot long steel square tubes. Each room has a 14-inch wind turbine on its roof. As wind blows, the turbine blades spin and rub against a metal and rubber armature to produce a rhythmic sound. The turbines have been modified by the removal of specific blades, creating a different interval for each room. The number of blades per turbine is 21, 20, 18 and 16. From inside each room, a person can listen to the sound emitted from the turbine above, as well as hear sound from the connected rooms in an overlapping sequence.

High Desert Test Sites returns this fall for a weekend of new experimental art, architecture, and design projects sited in the Southern California high desert communities of Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, Wonder Valley, Yucca Valley, and 29 Palms. HDTS 2011, curated by the McCarthy Family, Robert Stone, and Brooks Hudson Thomas, will feature new works by an exciting group of emerging and established artists, architects, and designers.
The weekendʼs festivities will include a dinner (first-come-first-served) and performances by E-Rock, Lisa Schonberg, Tara Jane ONeil, and Tyler Held with Von Tundra, The Sibleys, and Jamuel Saxon at the Palms Restaurant and Saloon in Wonder Valley.
