Stones are Angels

Stones Are Angels is an interactive multi-channel sound installation crafted to heighten awareness about the mineral substratum of our ethereal technologies by enhancing our engagement with personal computing devices on-site. The artwork speculates on the potential expression of the earthly agencies inherent in the minerals and metals constituting our personal computing devices, made audible through the amplification of their electromagnetic noise using pickup coil microphones. Through the amplification of hardware sounds from the audience's smartphones, the installation seeks to illustrate how sound and listening technologies serve as a means to connect with nonhuman intelligences, unveiling their agencies and narratives.
