Kanoon’s documentation and post-analysis on Whispers




During construction (in day-light)


Installation pin-up time (around 7pm)



For the aspect of being a shocked-space was quite failed since some of the people there have already seen my project while it was under construction (and by some out of planned event) and I wish participants to be more excited to go though the space but at least, paper cub phones seemed to do their job well in bringing the ‘nostalgia joy’ of childhood moment. This was proven since I was installing, people who were passing by usually did a reaction like ‘wow, can I play with this?’ and even trying to find the right cups for each pair. This was why, during the installation pin-up, while I told nothing; some of the participants actually knew and did the job (which is interesting reactions! I did not expect this). After everyone knows the meaning of white and red strings, they almost ignored the cups with red strings and focused on finding white-string cups and their pairs instead. Aj.A pointed this out that I should concentrate more on sounds I wanted participants to listen and the meaning behind having 2 separated areas.
     This project may still not the best one, but, as this installation can made participants enjoy. It has already achieved one of my objectives.




 Thank you :)

To me, erotic has a very broad meaning not only about sexual like most of people (or even I at the beginning) think. Everyone defines the meaning of Erotic differently depends on personality and experiences, for example I find Whispering is very sensual. It is not only evoke me a hearing sense, but other senses and memory as well, while others people may not feel the same way as me. To explain further, something erotic may strongly evokes your senses at the same time also pictures imagination in your head and feeling you have toward it.
My project seems to mainly about hearing sense, but actually it is also about sight and touch led to childhood memory (plus, some allurement like toys have toward kids). Since I mentioned erotic is about senses ‘to recall your memory and feeling you have toward it’, it is pretty similar to the meaning of ‘relationship’. Listening to each other (you and architecture) help you to understand and improve relationship more :D
