We will create an unique installed
durational performance in the form of a
furniture workshop. Using our unique hand-crafted
technological
tools, we will make dynamic audio through chopping, sawing and lathing.
The Sound Lathe produces audio data,
saw dust, noise and wood chippings.
With this human powered machine, turned spindles are shaped into
complex sounds such as tones, glitches
and beats. Unlike many electronic
instruments,
the Sound Lathe produces a unique wooden object at the end of each
performance. This object serves
as a memory of the performance,
slightly faulty and
incomplete as it represents the conclusion rather than an accurate
recording of the process.
Using the Sound Lathe and other
unique hand-crafted technologies,
we propose to use local wood to create a “self-build furniture pack”,
complete with Ikea style graphic instructions and archival audio
CD's.
We question the mythical technotopian dream represented by flat-pack
furniture.
