Connective Resonance

Connective Resonance links the human body to the built environment by exploring the sonic and material memory of London through clay. Through interaction, a series of clay resonators subtly modulate sound, transforming the space into a living, responsive instrument.

 

Taking London as both site and subject, we worked with clay, the very material that shaped the city, to craft interactive vessels that invite people to physically and emotionally resonate with the sounds produced by architectural matter.

 

When viewers place their hands beneath the suspended vessels, they descend into their palms. The lights subtly breathe, responding to the participant’s presence as living organisms. Meanwhile, the recorded architectural sounds tune into a single resonant frequency. In this moment, body, material, and environment resonate harmonically, creating a multisensory encounter that reveals the hidden continuity between people and the architecture that holds them.
