ABOUT THE PROJECT

(Public Exhibition in V2, Rotterdam)

In this interactive sound and light installation, you can enter into a dark and quiet room where you will discover what silent mutations are. You will be prompted to break this silence and explore what noises are needed to reveal the silent mutations. Playing on the notion of silence and darkness in opposition to noise and light, the installation lets you explore the idea of cumulative noise in order to reveal the silent mutations. At the end of the experience, you will help to illuminate the room, discovering that you are the silent mutation.
