The object is 3D printed from data\nsourced from a series of field recordings made by the artist. The recordings\nexplore sound\u2019s complex relationship with architecture and the built\nenvironment. The work describes both the exploration through making of real\nobjects and a nascent enquiry into \u2018Sound Objects\u2019 as phenomenological events,\ndrawing from Pierre Schaeffer\u2019s view that the Sound Object, \u2018is a kind of\nphenomenological quest for the essence of sound\u2019. These investigations form the\nbasis of an investigation into architectural space, sound and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his Ten Books of Architecture, Vitruvius\n(80 BCE to 15 BCE) describes how bronze \u2019acoustic urns\u2019 were placed amongst\ntheatre audiences to enhance the vocal performance of actors on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are no known extant examples of this Greco\/Roman technology. With the rediscovery of Vitruvius\u2019 writings in the middle ages, many stone chapels, throughout France and England, were constructed with stoneware urns placed within the walls to obtain a similar effect. Modern scientific analysis shows that the effect is negligible. A recent theory suggests that the vessels were employed as portals to communicate with angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
