"A constellation of dismantled media components—VHS tapes, cables, and circuit fragments—hangs beneath a welded steel mesh, hand-stitched into a “re-sutured memory fabric.” A projected global e-waste heatmap falls across the installation, situating these physical remnants within a landscape of discarded data. Viewers are invited to touch exposed metallic parts from decommissioned devices; linked through conductive materials, these fragments function as capacitive touchpoints that trigger sound samples. Children’s laughter, distant city streets, and animal calls serve as mnemonic cues—traces of the materials’ “former lives” that evoke the everyday environments in which such media once circulated.  

​

At the heart of the work is the tension between “cold media” and “warm memory.” Through physical contact, viewers “awaken” and “excavate” buried emotional resonance from inert matter. The sonic experience is non-linear: an interaction driven generative soundscape in which multiple touch points allow fragments to be recombined into a shifting sonic montage.

Each encounter produces a unique polyphonic layering—like a chance symphony assembled from the ruins of memory. Through this “symphony,” e-waste is reimagined as a spatial, multi-dimensional field of feeling.
