As part of Tom Leader Studio's Snagged, I designed a four channel sound installation at the Rubin Center for the Visual Arts in El Paso, Texas. Sarah Cowles created the "Flying Ditch"(above) which mimics the profile so common in the US - Mexico border region - where concrete canals divert water from the Rio Grande back to the US, out of parking lots, and off of roads. The sound was captured from sites on the US as well as Mexican side of the border.

"Bennett interweaves elements of human presence from both sides of the US-Mexico border, where screeching machinery muffles the solemn tones of traditional native dances. The abrasive percussion of jackhammers, trains groaning, the trill of video games, and the whirr of cash registers register the desert as a site whose transforming cultural and economic infrastructures perpetually impel and mirror its physical alterations."
