Project: Resonant Objects
Category: Sound Installation
Period: September 2006
Event: Nodar Pushing the Medium #2 Residency and Symposium
‘Resonant Objects’ is a series of sound installations that aims at bringing together sound and space through a physical phenomenon, where sound is used as a medium to excite space to be heard, sound generating more sound through space. The sound we get to hear is strictly related to the object’s spatial characteristics, it’s shape, dimensions and material, but also to it’s relation with the site-specific architecture and again the spatial characteristics of the precise space that hosts all the objects.
