① Artwork:
Untitled (Anechoic Chamber)
This print is part of a minimalist series by the artist documenting anechoic chambers, silent spaces used to measure the "self noise" of electroacoustic equipment such as microphones and speakers. People occupying anechoic chambers report hearing minute sounds produced by their bodies, such as their eyes blinking. The works function as representations of silence as well as our self-perception in silent moments. They are also detailed depictions of traditional subject matter – the human body – interpreted by a machine.
