Emergent Locality

How much of a language is silent? What does it look like when you take the silence out? Can we use code as a tool to answer these questions? silenc is a tangible visualization of an interpretation of silent letters within Danish, English and French. One of the hardest parts about language learning is pronunciation; the less phonetic the alphabet, the harder it is to correctly say the words. A common peculiarity amongst many Western languages

    by LAb[au]

    Uploaded

    'Signal To Noise' is a kinetic installation immersing the spectator in patterns of sonic motion, based on generative principles executed by 512 mechanical split-flaps. The expression ‘signal-to-noise’ is a measure used to quantify how much a signal has been lost to noise; it’s a ratio of useful to un-useful information in a data exchange. The works consists of a 3.40 m circular structure, containing 4 horizontal rows of 128 split-flaps at eye height.

    2 week project based on the brief of spoon. I was interested in the sonic properties of the spoon and how it has been used very often to make "sound". Kids messing around, hosts using it to attract the crow's attention etc.

    by Chris DeLeon

    Uploaded

    Some of M.C. Escher’s best-known works are spatially impossible, but Relativity depicts a scene that is fully navigable--so long as the explorer can change the direction of gravity.
