About Mathew Timmons Timmons works in a variety of media, focusing on creating works using language, sound, poetry, and printed matter. His work culls from external sources and repositions meaning in unfamiliar and disarming ways. For his exhibition at 323 Projects Timmons debuted The Archanoids, an album of solo and collaborative sound poetries from 2005-2010. In addition, he also invited visitors to participate in The Arc of Noise, a collective sound poem which utilized 323 Projects’ collaborative capabilities. Viewers participated by calling 323 Projects while watching a video score of Timmons’ composition and recording their own voice following the score. Since the show Timmons has worked with programmers and sound engineers Dan Richert and Aaron Drake to layer all the visitor’s messages into one single choral performance of the piece, making the world’s largest sound poetry choir.
