FOR CURATORS

Multi-Channel Sound & Media Installations

This page is for curators and producers. It outlines both the curatorial core of my work and a practical production model. I travel with my own 20–40 channel sound system and can also create locally rooted versions through on-site community recordings (e.g., choirs).

Curatorial Position

I build spatial sound installations that function as architectures of sustained attention.

The works unfold as durational perceptual environments rather than event-based pieces. They begin from warmth — breath, proximity and shared presence — and gradually allow perception to stabilize and reorganize within the space.

Within museum and contemporary art contexts, the practice operates as research-based artistic inquiry into how lived experience organizes itself collectively. While informed by long-term contemplative attention practice, the installations are not devotional or doctrinal. They investigate perception, embodiment and collective presence through spatial composition.

The aim is not spectacle or transcendence.
The aim is clarity — physically felt, durationally sustained and collectively held.

Artistic Structure

The works unfold over time. Spatial dramaturgy is central: intensity often gathers toward the center while the edges offer lower sensory load and rest. This layered structure creates multiple modes of entry. Visitors may engage briefly, or remain long enough for deeper perceptual shifts to occur.

Multi-channel sound, low-frequency resonance, breath and silence are treated as structural forces within the installation. Technology functions as a practice of care — regulating attention rather than amplifying noise.

Listening is not positioned as passive reception. It is participatory and constitutive. The installation becomes a shared field in which collective experience becomes perceptually tangible.

Institutional Context

The works are designed for museum and contemporary art centre contexts and are suitable for multi-week to multi-month exhibition periods.

One of the multi-channel installations (Re-Verb) has been acquired for the collection of Aine Art Museum.

The production model supports both autonomous touring installations and locally embedded processes involving choirs, musicians and community participants when relevant.

Local Collaboration & Community Recordings

In new productions, I often collaborate with local communities. I can bring a multi-channel recording setup, enabling site-specific layers within the installation — for example, recording local choirs or other sonic communities and integrating the material into the spatial composition.

If a community process is included, a typical structure is:

• 1–2 recording sessions (2–5 hours each)
• 1–3 days for editing and integration

The venue typically supports coordination with the community and provides a quiet recording space. I handle recording, artistic direction and post-production.

This is not material extraction but collaborative composition. The work makes audible how a place lives and thinks through its people.
