Latitude 34.13 Longitude 118.14 is a site-specific sound sculpture. The wood beam with six speakers represents a core sample of the location where it sits as the steel arm pulls the core out of the ground. The audio runs on a ten-minute loop, consists of dinosaur howling, tree rustling, weathers, farming equipment, different human activity, train, factory, gas holder, and fragments of machinery with human conversation. Meanwhile the top speaker plays a delayed live sound of the location.
Through the local archives, library, and site visit, the documentation such as Yellow pages, Sanborn Maps, Newspapers, photos, were recruited and used to define sounds that best represent the history of the site.
