‘The Sound of Pac-Man Dying’ is a collaborative sound piece composed of audio samples collected over the course of a year from 61 individuals responding to the question “In the Pac-Man video game, what does it sound like when Pac-Man dies?”. Contributions were recorded in restaurants, bars, museums, airports, private homes, public parks, coffee shops and city streets in the U.S. (California, Oregon, Vermont and Florida); Australia (Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne); and Canada (Winnipeg). The piece investigates collective knowledge, participatory art, memory, and pop culture.
