Speakers

The ‘speakers’ are intimate sound sculptures that imitate the human vocal tract and produce sounds that lie in the intermediary area of sound and speech, human and machine. I am particularly interested in integrating these objects into architecture, linking architectural resonance spaces with the resonance spaces of the human body/vocal tract.

Fascinated by the topic of phonetics and speech defects, I decided to work on objects that are able to produce disorderd sounds of language in order to juxtapose the mechanical as well as my physical “glitches” and to work with them artistically. This resulted in the first sound objects that attempt to produce faulty, non-normative, but still somehow human sounds.

The project was made possible with the kind support of BMKOES and the residency program of USF Bergen/Norway.
