Erica Raberg and Kelly Lloyd, artists
chips in the night, a collaboration between Kelly Lloyd and Erika Råberg, explores international chip culture through a medium-specific lens. For the Terrain Biennial, Lloyd and Råberg will collect recordings from the field and curate an agnostic holiday album and series of sound sculptures located in Stockholm, Sweden.
