strings that flare through the space in a hyperbolic paraboloid shape. A set
of 8 strings spring from a vertical 'media spine' and terminate at a
horizontal structural bar on the opposite end of the space. The receiving bar
also frames the entrance to the inhabitable instrument. The media spine is
outfitted with 8 tuning pegs to achieve different sound scales, 8 transducers

to play the instrument while discovering the kinetic experience of the light
partition. CargoGuitar is a spatial intervention that explores the threshold
