BONE VOYAGE
This work is an arm-like appendage device that delivers sound directly to the viewer’s skull via a bone-conduction speaker at its tip. It moves like a vine or a digit, and makes contact with the head and then transmits vibrations to the skull, creating the sensation of hearing the sounds of the city through the cranium itself, as if your brain was surrounded by an ear. The way the sound is perceived changes depending on where, when, and how firmly the device makes contact, creating a listening experience that feels almost like having the memories of a stranger infused into you.
Fushi Sano + Mio Haruhana
A creative unit formed by Fushi Sano, who creates music and sound with essential elements of the experience of “hearing”, and Mio Haruhana, who creates dynamic forms grounded in the structural and mechanical necessities of their construction. By combining diverse acoustic devices with organic designs and movements, the duo creates works that explore unprecedented and unfamiliar acoustic experiences.
