Dual Wielding was part of a two-person exhibition Anne Wright Wilson Gallery on the Georgetown College campus in Georgetown, Kentucky.  In this installation, the two horns extend from one Theremin; thus, the Theremin and anyone playing the Theremin is "dual wielding." 

The term "dual wielding" has been popularized in tv shows about the American Old West, role-playing video games, and action movies. "Dual wielding" describes the use of two weapons, one in each hand, during combat.  Although the idea of carrying and fighting with two weapons would appear to be more effective, "dual wielding" prioritizes drama and attitude over function.
