SPEAKERS

Similar to the CD player, I want to explore the physical form of sound. In this series I want to use sound as a metaphor of wind, water and light. I found a broken shower head, a broken blow dryer and a broken lamp in a thrift store, they was lying on the shelf at their last gasp when I saw  them. I choose them as my media of sound as they were media of water, wind and light and hacked them together with speakers. I set up my objects into a bathroom scene and recorded their original sound for my installation. For example, I recorded the sound of showering for the shower head, I hope that even viewers don't feel the water actually dropping on them, the sound and the interaction can evoke their memories of taking shower, thus making viewers experience the sound physically. Here, the sound also speaks to the memory of abandoned objects, to the disposable culture, to our way of creating artifacts and irresponsibly throw them away.
