Symposium I attended at the University of Huddersfield, U.K., 4-6 October 2013.
Ryoko Akama's installation draws on environmental and ecological concerns in which social noise and its capability of collaborative-ness are questioned. It uses a Geiger counter, a radiation detector in the air, and a radio transmission system. A pool of water is vibrated by four speakers that receive frequency compositions created by the noise data of the Geiger counter. The cymatic patterns that occur on the water's surface result from the transformation of sonic energy. The physicality of information science sustains optic listening and a subtle encounter with low-frequency soundscapes.
