WHY RESONANCE
What if listening became a physical experience?
What if listening became a physical experience?
Sound surrounds us, yet often slips into the background. I wanted to create a space where people notice it through their bodies and become part of what they hear.

Resonance turns that question into a journey: from individual attention to shared listening and active contribution, before returning to reflection.

Choreograph attention,
then invite participation.

FIVE SPACES, ONE CONTINUOUS JOURNEY
The one-way route changes how visitors engage with sound, not just where they go.

The acoustic corridor and subtly rising floor mark a change in pace. Visitors are invited to slow down and notice small sounds - footsteps, breath, and movement - before entering the more responsive spaces.

WHAT YOU DO
Place your hand on the responsive surface. Your hand temperature becomes an input to the visual and sonic experience.

WHY IT MATTERS
The first active moment makes an invisible bodily signal perceptible. You begin to shape the space, rather than only observe it.

HOW THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WORKS
Touch and temperature sensing → TouchDesigner mapping → visual and sonic response

I developed a hand-interaction prototype to explore how a simple bodily action could produce a visible response. The study connects the sensory idea to an interaction that can be experienced and refined.

WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE
Sit within a circular listening space. The proposal combines sound, seating vibration, and overhead patterns so that listening can be felt and shared.

WHAT DRIVES THE RESPONSE
Sound input drives the changing visual field. Visitors encounter the same rhythm together, through its visual, sonic, and tactile qualities.

A / PROPOSED PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
Making vibration visible.
Amplified sound vibrates a water dish. A ring light reveals the patterns; a camera and projector enlarge them onto the ceiling.

Sound input becomes visual behavior.
I used TouchDesigner to explore sound-driven, cymatic-inspired patterns. Audio input is mapped to a changing visual output, testing a digital approach to the room’s visual language.

A private sound becomes part of a shared environment. The room shifts the visitor from receiving an experience to contributing to it.

After the participatory rooms, the final space asks for less. Visitors can pause with ambient sound and natural imagery, letting the experience settle rather than immediately moving on.

The one-way route supports the emotional sequence, while the plan accommodates arrival, check-in, circulation, and support spaces. Sections bring the sensory concepts back to scale, enclosure, and the position of the body.

Poster studies and an early AI-assisted concept film explored the exhibition’s visual and emotional tone. These early studies established a tactile, cinematic language before I developed the final spatial sequence.

Resonance brings my spatial design and creative technology work into the same process. The room shapes how visitors encounter sound; the interaction system gives them a way to affect it.

The result is an exhibition concept supported by spatial drawings and interaction prototypes – a foundation for further testing at full scale.
