Exhibition Event
Ami Yamasaki
The quiet room has been found.
It was found previously by feathers.
Now they are in suspended animation states at each comfortable place.
They heard the song which the quiet room has continued to sing for a long time.
"Since the sound is too small to hear and you're late arrival, wait a little till the night surrounding you breaks gradually."
The dense silence which thousands of feathers made resembles the peculiar sound sung from the day the room was born.
The sound you hear in that sound resembles you.

Sound is not only an object of listening but also a change of state in atmospheric pressure. Sonic wave affects every object, both living and non-living. My work can be considered as an experiment to explore relationships mediated by sounds regardless of having an auditory sense. The limestone used in this work contains numerous fossils of fusulina, small sea animal with calcareous shell. It consists of CO2 fixed by this propozoa extinct 250 million years ago. I am interested in this transformation process over a period of time, and intervene it through this work.

Muku Kobayashi
The active action of "listening" segments sounds. There are also such sounds that we are not usually conscious of and just "exist" in locations and spaces. To the horizon of these inconsiderable sounds, devices emit sounds which are not meant to be taken account of. Regardless of whether people there are listening, a link just "exists " between the horizon of inconsiderable sounds and the sounds emitted by the device.
