‘I have a friend, who’s an artist…..’
Sound is perhaps the purest form of science and art, existing everywhere, in nature and technology, as waves, as music, as digital signals, as noise. How to use sound as an audio illustration of an idea, to create a bridge between the known and unknown, a conceptual understanding and a physical experience.

Observation with a capital O – the way Holmes uses the word when he gives his new companion a brief history of his life with a single glance – does entail more than, well, observation (the lowercase kind). It’s not just about the passive process of letting objects enter into your visual field. It is about knowing what and how to observe and directing your attention accordingly: what details do you focus on? What details do you omit? And how do you take in and capture those details that you do choose to zoom in on? In other words, how do you maximize your brain attic’s potential? You don’t just throw any old detail up there, if you remember Holmes’s early admonitions; you want to keep it as clean as possible. Everything we choose to notice has the potential to become a future furnishing of our attics – and what’s more, its addition will mean a change in the attic’s landscape that will affect, in turn, each future addition. So we have to choose wisely.
