‘Phonon’, named for the smallest unit of acoustic energy, is an audio-visual landscape that celebrates stillness and slowness. The installation encourages visitors to experience the environment in a more personal way, instead of consuming media voraciously to be forgotten with the next swipe. ‘Phonon’ focuses on the creation of memory through a moment in time that has been slowed to the edge of stillness.
Visual illusionary cues, projection mapping, and spatial sound techniques enlarge the physical installation space to an immersive projection environment that represents an abstracted cityscape.
By switching from movement to stillness, an individual can form the space both visually and audibly. The location of the user is memorised by the installation when he/she slows down and stays still. The visual and aural landscape shifts and adjusts to these positions of stillness, recomposing the memory of the space.
