This project has 3 forms:
1. MACHINE HYMNS: An interactive sound sculpture – in development
2. SEAM RIPPER: An interactive textile technology, sound, and video installation – creation stage
3. WORK IS WORSHIP: A sound installation – second iteration
Mechanical Hymns is an instrument, sound sculpture, and interactive installation using factory machines repurposed into custom-made instrument(s). The cathartic and droning machine hymns blends the meditative with aggressive machines.
Mechanical Hymns asks the visitor to interrogate our assumptions about what noise, quiet, and silence mean and represent.
Developed with the support of What Lab, an early stage protoype was workshopped with the support of BC Arts Council on April 25th and 26th 2025.
