Murmurs Christoph De Boeck 2019

Christoph De Boeck aims to re-work the materials from an older installation Staalhemel which consisted of a grid-based ceiling of steel tiles, over a series of installations. In Murmurs the tiles are arranged and stacked on the floor, overlapping and supporting each other. The surfaces are activated with analog synth oscillators running through bass exciters attached to the steel. When the tiles vibrate and rub against each other this gives shape to shuddering and shrieking side sound effects. The electronic oscillation translates into physical displacement and tactile waves travelling over the floor.
