Many Shapes of Volumes
installation, 2019
Drawing on the desire to capture and contain sound, Seo Hye has designed these sound objects to hold environmental soundscapes within.
The project utilises both primitive materials and new technologies; the choice of ceramic significant in its timeless nature, along with the integration of modern audio technology within. Throughout her experience of hearing loss, she has continued to take inspiration from her illustration background and explore the ways in which sound can be transformed into a visual form. Here, a combination of these experiments with sound and playful visual language results in multi-faceted audio and visual installation experience. With this work, Seo Hye encourages the participants to explore the subjective nature of sound and celebrate their individual sonic identities.
