Stone Dream v3.0

Stone Dream v3.0 is a kinetic sound installation. The space resonates with the reverberations of rocks and silicon wafers scraping and colliding. These subtle frictional sounds are expanded and extended to envelop the entire acoustic field, manifesting as the dream whispers of rock and silicon.

The work attempts to construct a recursive dialogue between materials, entangling them within the realms of ancient nature and contemporary technology. Has the processed silicon ever dreamed of its chaotic, primordial state? Or did the deeply deposited rocks, tens of millions of years ago, foresee their destiny as computational materials within a prophetic dream? The noise and reverberations born from the mutual interpretation and misinterpretation between these materials layer and materialize within a multi-channel soundscape, ultimately generating a dream that belongs entirely to the materials themselves.

Born in 2001, Hsin-Yuan Ho is currently pursuing a Master’s degree at the Graduate Institute of New Media Art, TNUA. The work primarily focuses on sound installations, kinetic installations, and audiovisual. Ho explores the intricate relationships between systems, machinery, space, and humans, specifically focusing on the behavioral discrepancies of technical systems. By attempting to transform system failure and latency into an alternative operational logic, Ho seeks out interactive relationships between disparate objects through continuous experimentation, generating unique dynamics and soundscapes.
