About this exposition

Triangulations Three microphones, three places, three subjects, three levels. Triangulations is an experiment to explore how the sounds that constantly unfold simultaneously in the world can be archived. Here, “archiving” means both preserving and letting go again: when listening back, the circumstances have already shifted, and the sounds are no longer the same. What does this perpetual change do to us – and can we ever truly make ourselves aware of it? As we attempt to capture the sounds of our environment, always subject to determination, we become aware of the alternating play between control and loss of control, while the world around us updates itself every second, changing its conditions. Yet spaces remain familiar and produce the illusion of permanence. How can we connect with them, what differences do we discover between micro-, meso- and macro-levels? At what point are we surprised by ourselves and by the environment we are interacting with? The idea begins with creating and recording an echo. The experimental setup takes the shape of a triangle – Triangulations. If the microphones at all three points are started simultaneously, is it possible that these so-called distributed microphone recordings can capture the environment in such a way that, when layered, they produce an echo? The echo can here be understood as an acoustic visualization of life that unfolds simultaneously yet in different places. From the slowly eroding stone to the intangible wind, from the ant undertaking its long journey through grass and soil to its next task, to the bunkers seemingly built for eternity, or ourselves, diving into these worlds only to leave them again. What remains are these acoustic memories.
