This collaborative audio-visual installation was created especially to accompany Michael Joo: Sensory Meridian at kavi Gupta in 2021. The piece filled the exhibition space with the whisperings of the voice of a social neuroscientist observing and describing human interactions that we cannot see. Designed to trigger ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response), the quadrophonic audio illustrates the power of absent bodies to stimulate and affect bodies who are present, while the video, showing fragments of the neuroscientist’s head while she’s talking and graphical sound analytics, further explores disconnected presences and mediated realities.
