Sprout “fizz”

Immersive sound installation using original small speakers

A work from the “Sprout of Sound” series made using a group of small speakers. In the title “Sprout,” the words “SP OUT,” which is an abbreviation for “speaker out,” are also hidden. The series’ first work released at the former Bunkamura Studio in March, 2024, was developed further for the “evala: Emerging Site / Disappearing Sight” exhibition. A large number of original speakers, each shaped differently, were produced. Visitors can walk around freely inside the installation, and will be enveloped with space filled with the presence of new lives that sometimes feels like many individual beings and at other times feels like one group.

小さなスピーカー群による“音の芽吹き”シリーズ．「発芽する」またはその「芽」を意味する「Sprout」には，「speaker out」の略語である「SP OUT」も隠れています．「evala　現われる場　消滅する像」展では，2024年3月に旧Bunkamura Studioで発表されたシリーズ第一作を大きく発展させ，ひとつひとつ形状の異なるオリジナル・スピーカーが大量に製作されました．体験者は作品のなかを自由に歩き回ることができ，ときに多数の個のような，ときにひとつの群れのような，新しい生命の息吹が満ちた空間に包まれます．
