This Friday, a new sound will echo through downtown San Jose, connecting the city to the world at large in new ways, when Beta Space: Trevor Paglen opens at SJMA. The installation can be heard emitting from the museum’s clock tower for the next year. Paglen, a 2017 MacArthur Fellow, has spent the last decade and a half addressing issues of global surveillance, data collection and other government activities in a myriad of mediums. Beta Space continues this work through sound by vocalizing sets of data from entities such as Cal Fire and the UN.
