In the video I activate the acoustics of an empty factory by hitting the wall with a stick. To visually emphasize the sound of the hit, I adopt the association: silence=black / sound=light.

IN THE BLINK OF AN EAR
BEYOND THE YELLOW LINE
A microphone moves closer and closer to a passing train and eventually gets hit by it. In this work, the microphone is exposed to the consequences of breaking the (safety) distance limit which usually/conventionally separates it from the sound source.
A VOICE WANDERS IN DISPERSION AROUND THE CITY
In the video, I use my voice as an existential strategy that allows me to survive in a city that I don’t recognize as mine. Led by the acoustics of the places that I encounter in my wandering, I end up silent in an empty building. My voice has the double function of 1) making me discovering the acoustic response of the city and 2) sustaining my own presence which is already undermined by the impact with the metropolis.
RESONANT FREQUENCY
The tuning of the voice on a certain frequency hits the metal plates of the grid and set them in motion.
A BALLOON FOR LINZ
A Balloon for Linz brings to light the acoustic response of specific locations in Linz. Together with the video, a series of exploratory walks were organized in the city of Linz. Participants were invited to pop balloons and listen to the acoustic architecture of the urban space. The project received an honorary mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 2011.
