Today the word covert is being used at an all time high–a word that means unknown or
unnoticed–has become a commonly used word. On the other hand the use of the word
overt has dropped since the 70s. To play on this idea I represent the meaning of the
word trough visuals and the locution of the word through audible cues. Since the
word covert means unknown but we uses it more than ever, the spectator hears the
word “covert” but unable to see any signs of the source. Overt–meaning unconcealed–
takes physical form in the center of the room on a pedestal with spotlights fixed on it
while having no audible presence.
