Isolated Voices

The outbreak of the coronavirus in China in February 2020 profoundly impacted lives worldwide, particularly in China initially and subsequently in Europe. Masks became ubiquitous, slowing the virus's spread but also isolating us from the world, amplifying voices once overlooked.

In response, I embarked on a collection journey, gathering items, food, and medicine from isolated patients, and subjected them to crushing. The resulting sounds were meticulously recorded and integrated into noise clips on vinyl, with the crushed objects scattered unevenly atop as 'impurities.'

Vinyl was chosen for its analog recording properties, mirroring the analog nature of the 'impurities.' Through this approach, I seek to engage our senses of sight, hearing, and touch, immersing them in the experience of isolation, where the pursuit of 'empathy' becomes the focal point of the design.

孤立声音记录

在2020年2月爆发在中国的冠状病毒对我们的生活都产生了巨大的影响，尤其是那时的中国和此后的欧洲。口罩减缓了病毒的传播也让我们与世界隔离，一些声音曾经被忽略。

我收集了许多被隔离的病人的生活物品，食品和药品，将他们碾碎。同时也记录了他们发出的声音并混编成噪音片段刻录在黑胶唱片中，并把碾碎的物体作为一种“杂质”不均匀地洒在上面。

黑胶唱片因为模拟录音的特性而被选择，而那些“杂质”则是另一种模拟。通过这种方式，我试图让我们的视觉、听觉和触觉沉浸在一种孤立的生活中，“感同身受”是设计的目的。
