Yan Jun – 17th February 2022
Yan Jun’s work makes me wonder how a physical object could manipulate the sounds picked up in feedback loops. Could feedback be used as a way to map out the sonic environment of a space, to be manipulated by any physical player within it by disturbing the direction that the sound waves are travelling?
Does feedback have to become an accumulation of tones which creates a single resonant frequency or can feedback keep it’s textural/harmonic quality?

We are very far removed from natural forces. People lose their inter-dependencies on these forces.
