Resonant Earth

Resonant Earth is a show about the tangibility and mutability of sound. Each of the pieces in this
exhibition exist at the intersection of art and science, technology and craft. Featuring electroluminescent
pots, soil Synthesizers, micro-tombs suspended in sound, and audiovisual projection about the materials
that make us, Resonant Earth will change how viewers think about the sounds and signals that lie hidden
in plain sight.

What Are We Made Of? (WAMO)
What Are We Made Of? (WAMO) is a video installation depicting futuristic materials from a microscopic
perspective.WAMO poses a double question: On one hand, the experience asks us to examine man’s
reliance on materials for survival, what those materials currently consist of, and what they may look like in
the future. On the other hand, it asks us to reflect on the will of humankind as if it were a material. Will
humanity be brittle in our ways and remain unchanged until nature breaks us, or will we modify our
mentality and invest in a future where nature and man can mutually thrive?
1: Home plasma device to eradicate waste and household dirt.
2: AI-assisted crack detection and mitigation.
3: Fully recyclable polymers.
4: Reverse-corrosion coating for metals.
5: Injectable bandage that dissolves into the body after the wound is healed.

Oxylos and Oreios
Oxylos and Oreios is about two voices, the soil (Oxylos, Dryad of the forest) and the synthesizer (Oreios,
dryad of the mountain), they come together in this piece to produce an endlessly evolving melody.

Consonance
Consonance is an installation that focuses on resonance. 3D printed ceramic vessels are suspended in
mid-air by a wire that functions as both antenna and power source. As visitors move through the
installation they modulate the electromagnetic waves being emitted from each wire. These changes are
picked up and converted into sound and light. Sound from the theremin synthesizer connected to each
wire and light from the electroluminescent graphite glaze that coats each vase. Yet one alone can never
experience the full effect of this piece, it is withdrawn to the viewer even as it is suspended in front of
them. Only through the movement of multiple people can one begin to appreciate the whole,
interconnected work.
