As a generative, multi-channel installation, Pausa was premiered at Kiehle Gallery in St. Cloud, Minnesota in March-April 2017. Curated by Godfre Leung, the artwork includes 4-channel generative sound by Held and 3 video paintings by Bainbridge. The moving picture artworks were made live in New York City and Minnesota, including a performance in Kiehle Gallery for the exhibition opening. The exhibition also includes unique art objects used to make the sound and image: the Binary Pattern Generator, and Lisa Joy (W) – a modified Vectrex and custom modular synthesizer which together make electronic light drawings.
