Reflection of sound arts in JAPAN #4

With the development of computer technology, its application in art has become more and more extensive. Many works of art also use computer technology. For example, Ikue Mori first used drum machines in improvised music, and then turned to laptops to connect Tokyo with the Knitting Factory in downtown New York in the 1980s and the stone scene of John Zorn’s The Stone.

I have seen Yuri Suzuki’s works. In Design Museum in 2019, Design Museum exhibited some of his works. The themes are about exploring how we navigate and connect to the surrounding world through sound, and how to make new technologies more relevant through the novel realization of sound design. Interactive devices, audition tubes and sound-absorbing boxes invite visitors to create their own unique sound experience.

I tried to interact with the sound absorption device. When I speak to the speaker, the sound from the speaker may become different. One device becomes a delayed sound, and the other changes the tone of my original speech. This installation art feels very interesting. Taking into account the theme of the work itself, it can also use a form to make it easier for the audience to understand his meaning. In addition, his works in other exhibitions are very interesting. Not only the appearance but also the way of interaction, there is a feeling that I want to try.
