From the Rochester City Paper review:

Annette Daniel-Taylor’s “Frederick Douglass Experiment” is installed in the small round room in the rear of the space. She constructed a website for the work, which she describes as a “sound-walk collaboration” between herself and Frederick Douglass, using words from his speeches and essays and her own voice and verse to create a layered, experimental artists’ walking-tour of various Rochester sites and stories related to Douglass. An installed iPad allows visitors to explore all of the chapters, while a video display screens chapter eight, “Brethren is Who We Are,” on a loop.
