Sound Room - Private Viewing

This is a private viewing event of two artworks in the Sound Room:

Harmonic Breeze

The artwork is a captivating installation featuring a tassel of hanging strings that interact with touch or air movement to produce sound. Each string, when displaced, generates a range of delicate, ethereal tones reminiscent of the random, yet harmonious sounds found in nature. This dynamic piece invites viewers to engage physically with the artwork, allowing them to experience the subtle symphony created by their interactions. The sounds evoke the serene randomness of natural environments, such as the whisper of wind through leaves or the gentle rustling of grasses. This installation encourages contemplation of the organic beauty in unpredictable natural sounds and the profound connection between human actions and the environment's auditory landscape.

Moments

This artwork is a profound exploration of the intricate web of life, depicted through a series of metallic rings of varying diameters, all rotating on different axes. These rings, driven by a motor, converge at a single point, symbolizing the intersection of different lives at a particular moment in space and time. As the rings rotate, they occasionally clash, producing sounds that echo the interactions—both significant and fleeting—that occur in these chance encounters. The artwork serves as a metaphor for the connections we often overlook, reminding us of the profound impact of these coincidences. At times, the rings pause, creating a moment of silence that reflects the interruptions in life's continuous flow, such as death or trauma. These moments invite viewers to pause and reflect on the value of the brief intersections we experience with others, emphasizing the fragile and interconnected nature of our existence.
