"Voting Booth 2.1" info

Voting Booth 2.1 is an actual Harris County punch card voting booth with three affixed motion sensitive surveillance cameras and
one listening station with headphones*.

At KPFT, Voting Booth 2.1 visited both
the "living arts" and "progressive forum" programs, with mini-CDs for people with
walk-in pledges. Two voting booths were displayed at their 2008 voting party at
last concert cafe.

VB2.1 visited aerosol warfare, rice campus, vinal edge records and was also left in
public spaces to lure passers-by.

Our tribute to the 2008 election atmosphere does not support a specific candidate.  The audio is certainly anti-war and has sound bites from still-president bush (which
could be perceived as negative).

the audio loop is quite long, here is a 3 part sample
of the sounds, which are 100% FCC OK.
