Sentinel's 5-channel sounds are extracts of principle frequencies of the wind that was blowing across the face of the Einsiedlerfelsen (Hermit's Stone). The installation covers over 150,000 square feet of forest terrain with audio speakers mounted atop the rock and in trees further up the mountain. The title compares the enduring stone to the surveillance towers that once lined the nearby German-Czech border. The wind continues to pass freely across all borders, oblivious to the boundaries set by humans.
