The project takes over water sound from streams, reservoir, harbor, rivers, springs, which are all related with human activities in order to convert a space as an experience of underwater, this sound installation is aiming to arouse the acoustic resonance to the diminutive level of water and use multiple ways of interaction to draw the temporality, inconsistency and instability of the relationship between human bodies in a fabricated time-space scope.


Regarding to the interaction protocol:
I use a surveillance camera to capture the motions and redistribute the movement at a two-minute loop with coding as the sound will constantly jump and shift with the motion detected by the camera and overlapping with the real-time movements.

This is a continuing project of the water sound installation, Water Metrology. It will maintain several artists' books that document the sound sources, process of recording and descriptions around experiencing this sound.

Sound has the sort of textures and grains that could be transfered to distort, and to re-construct our memory, like water ripples, tv glitching, or even a weaving loom .
It is a growing poetry.
