Continuing her work as artist in residence at the Ear Institute,
UCL London, Aura will develop a new intimate, immersive sound
sculpture that will create a physical and psychoacoustic sonic
experience whereby visitors will be encouraged to place their head
inside the sculpture itself. Like a giant hearing trumpet or an
automaton ear, the horn appears to tune into the vast library of past
sounds that is the air. The multi-channel soundtrack outputs in a spiral
sequence, thus echoing the rotating technology of wax cylinder sound
recordings. Similarly, the narrative voicover explores the idea of
memory being like a wax cylinder, a 'mystic writing-pad' of sorts, a
blank slate onto which memories leave their trace and personal history
is recorded.More here
