For Lucinda Child’s VEHICLE, Peter Hirsch designed a 70 kHz Doppler sonar system. Childs swung three red fireman’s buckets around inside the ultrasonic sound beams created by transmitters hung on scaffolding.

These sounds were transmitted to the twelve speakers around the Armory. [Overview courtesy of Anthology Film Archives]
