Version 1
Using analog circuitry, a noisy and unpredictable book was created and installed throughout a university library. No-one took notice.





Version 2
Our culture has developed an unspoken mantra: “plug in, tune out.” People use headphones to shut themselves off from the incessant background noise that fills our world. Untitled: Sound consists of a pair of headphones attached to an amplification circuit. The circuit listens to the surrounding area in two directions, amplifies this sound, strips it of it’s inherent directionality, and then plays it through the headphones. By making people listen to the outside world in a way in which they have grown accustomed to blocking it out, Untitled: Sound serves to make them cognizant of the rampant noise pollution which has become a societal norm and on a larger scale encourages the viewer to question their perception of reality.
