TEXTURE TRANSMIT
MIT, CAMBRIDGE, MA
2021
Texture Transmit examines the material nature of sound, and the inherent sound - both real and expected, imagined - of physical material.
A composition built of the sounds of textiles - paper and fabric - plays through an immersive environment composed of those same textiles. While paths are carved for the limited access of the physical body, and similarly limited line of sight, the sound composition is able to easily pass through the obstructing panels unhindered. The composition and installation are weighted between polar ends of fabric and paper, and viewers' motion through the installation causes the sound to remix and redistribute as each textile tries to entice with its unique transmitted sounds.
Materials: paper, fabric, piezoelectric sensors, cameras and camera tracking software, sound composition
A short experimental project in collaboration with Kimaya Lecamwasam and Chelsi Cocking.
