Next up for our Paseo FEAST finalists, we have KYD/Keenan Jones' "GROVES: Signal Night!"

"GROVES: Signal Night" is a public listening performance and
walk-through memory archive where original alternative R&B, projected forests, printed fragments and an off-hook phone transform an Oklahoma room into the abandoned interior of a relationship. Audiences can explore the installation, witness a live set, and anonymously add one memory they are still carrying to the archive.
