Overview
What can be gained from letting the past occupy space in the present and future?
How can our emotional phenomena and traditions of care transcend time?
An exploration of hauntology and traditions of care through the lens of lived experience
This installation takes the form of three sound waves warped and physicalized as nested, concentric, patterned rings made from 3D-printed translucent PETG.
Audio accompanying the physical piece echoes the original sound recordings that each sculpture wave is based on; a sonification of love passed from generation to generation, from wave to wave
By stepping into the center of the installation, participants illuminate the sculpture, bringing the ripples to life as if stomping in water. The light won’t last forever: it is activated by bodies in the present and charged by the pressure to create something that lasts in a temporal world.
