Work
Sus<caul>Pend is an audio sculpture centered on a suspended white “module of life” placed inside a glass aquarium. Formed from urethane foam and silicone, the organic mass contains embedded speakers and electronic circuits, generating pulsating noise, altered singing voices, and collapsing fragments of phrases that form a thin sonic membrane between glass and air. The internal speaker structure also functions as a miniature version of Wakasa’s larger spatial sound installations, producing an unstable relation between body, system, and acoustic space.
