Sonic Traces

Sonic Traces is an interactive sound installation that explores voice as both material and trace within artistic and archival practice. Visitors are invited to touch selected objects embedded in the installation, activating overlapping sound fragments sourced from audio letters and archival voice recordings. These gestures with atmospheric soundscapes, create a multi-layered sonic atmosphere where voices blend, offering a non-linear experience of memory and presence. The installation investigates how fragmented acoustic histories are shaped and reinterpreted through technology and embodied audience interaction, foregrounding the ephemeral nature of voice and the notion of the body as a living archive. "Sonic Traces" resists a singular narrative, it invites the public into overlapping, disjunctive, and transformative acts of listening. The work was presented in the context of SONIME / Fleeting Voices in Vienna.
