What Are You Listening To?

Individual Installation
The idea that we could "see" how others feel when listening to them makes me want to make this installation - an earring in a spreading shape that is projection-mapped with an original audio video.
This alternative screen project was installed in SCA Gallery at the University of Southern California. It is inspired by my personal experience of studying alone in another country, away from my friends and families, when I felt that hearing is so powerful as it connects me with people, places, and feelings I couldn’t reach physically. People often visualize things they hear in beautiful and colorful images.
Material: fabric, clay, one-channel projector, head mannequin.
Documentation Video
The video content includes three parts, covering daily sounds, real conversations, and a poem (all in Mandarin). The installation also provides accessibility to hearing disabled people by the idea of translating sound and conversation into visuals.
Video Content
This is the original video content with rough English translation.
