Milgram
milgram are an experimental audio performance group, who often create site-responsive sound performances; pre-recording noises from the area and mixing them with live sounds on the night. On other occasions they will create science-fiction sounds from their own machines, and observe the reactions of the audience as if they are experimenting on them.
Their name is a reference to Stanley Milgram: a psychologist who carried out experiments into obedience to authority, and their performances utilise signifiers such as white coats to suggest scientific authority or boiler suits to suggest practical or technical authority. During events they execute activities in an objective manner, as if they have some unknown importance, although they will interact politely with the audience if questioned.
