The Intertwining Voice of Contact

Installation
2020
loudspeakers, tactile transducers, voice
site-adaptive
Various speakers and tactile transducers produce audio fields that fill a space with different sounds of voice. The sounds are installed site-adaptively.

“In this installation, I bracket my voice in a variety of ways. There are subtle contacts involved in the acts of listening and speaking, and this work is motivated by the inter-corporeal potential of these contacts. Listening and voice as dynamics of touch put bodies in an intertwined and mutually-penetrating relation. Through certain bracketing procedures, what may be revealed is that component of voice which is usually discarded in favor of the grasping of meaning. I explore a more basic, sonic-material, sound-object 'voice' as an embodiment of the metaphor for the guiding, solicitation, non-verbal, pre-objective, and pre-conceptual 'bespeaking' world.”
