Jenny Hu — Looking Outwards 09

For this week’s Looking Outwards, I will discuss Anthony Ra’s week 4 post.

I loved the piece that Anthony posted; Hush‘s interactive sound-art installation invites onlookers to rotate prism pieces of a board that refracts and changes color— and therefore sound.

My favorite statement from Anthony’s post is that the project ” allows for a calm duality in light projection and soundscape.” The elegance for this duality is exactly what makes the project so astoundingly sublime— and generates such a calm, multi-sensorial experience.

The pieces are elementary, and simple in a way that makes the piece inviting to touch and understand. What generates as a result, is something that feels seemingly complex, but aesthetically correct (and therefore simple). This duality is something that speaks to me as well, as someone who aims to create experiences that draw from inherently complex processes, this immediate and simple harmony is something I hope to achieve in my work in the future.
