Work > Speaking Devices

A collaboration with Eric Stimmel. Speaking Devices set to activate an empty and neglected courtyard public space with an interactive analog intercom system. Users can speak to each other while in separate mirrored vestibules and talk to the outside using wooden Speaking Boxes. In the courtyard, the boxes are movable and animalistic, setting up a dialog between person and activated object. The sound is translated through robotic voice modulators, adding a humorous element to the difficulties of communicating over distance.
