Artist Statement:


    “Yomeci Fields” at ISEA2024 Everywhen is an ephemeral sound playground that invites participation with the world through different modes of playful sonic connectivity. It features a sound-responsive ground of chalk and tape artworks that expand and contract throughout the exhibition. The sound world of “Yomeci Fields” responds to participants’ movements and interactions with each other, the ground and its play objects in an improvisational and playful collaboration. Inspired by how place is ever-created as much as it is rooted, and how play and sound can relate people to place, the work explores how play-based sonic interactivity can invite the flow of passers-by to meet together in sound, place and play.

    “Yomeci Fields” brings together experimental play design, human-sound interaction design, and public art to present a festive event for the play community; however, it also eases the city’s quieter voices into play by using sound to propel, invite and encourage. It intends to make people feel ‘heard’ – their energy reflected, their movements responded to, and their voice harmonised with. It is hoped that by picking up the invitation to play, people ease into their nature and be in the current moment the way they want to be.
