“Evoke” asks artists to consider the natural sounds of a city and create works that fit to its incessant rumbling of jackhammers, sirens, alarms—all things that shifted during the recent lockdown.

The noise of a city is often considered one of its worst qualities, yet when it is removed, we miss it. “Evoke” is an admission of acceptance to the sounds we take for granted. Evoke videos are without sound and created for projection on the Manhattan Bridge in the wintertime, with its trains and auto ambient noise as its soundtrack. Somehow the sounds of the city are evocative of its beating heart.
