Acoustics of Technology

A sonic video-art experience dramatizing the phenomenon of the white noise created by mechanical devices.

“Acoustics of Technologies” is a sonic conceptual video piece, dramatizes the phenomenon of the white noise created by today’s ever-present electrical devices. It is a revelatory project, indicates how people are bonded to the sounds of technology and drawn away from the sounds of nature. It explores the way we have become dependent on the convenience of electricity and electronic devices, and yet we have no other choice than to live with the white noise. It explores how machinery sounds have an impact on our minds because of our adaption to white noise; we might become strangers to the organic sounds of nature within this environment where sounds of electricity dominate.
