| This project is about encoding and decoding, in other words, defining the transformation of symbols from one set of symbols to another one. It is about hearing music in the city lights. I take the evening streets as an input. The time when daylight fades, windows start lighting up. I record (photograph) the buildings along a taken street and use the lit windows on the different floors to create code for a music box punch card. The punch card is decoded by the box into a tune. The outcome is a rhythmic soundscape of the street. The sound is a reflection of a self-organized pattern of urban structures. It’s variation and complexity depends on scale and liveliness of the moment and the environment. My intention is to bring the sound back on the streets, as an installation, so the dynamics and liveliness of a transient moment could live by being brought back to its place of origin or move to another place (street, city, country) in a different form.

| I choose the music box because I am fascinated by the idea of scaling down a piece of the city into a small, tangible object. Reducing and transforming the chaotic, dynamic, bustling urban noise into a minimal, analog melody. A mechanical, hand-cranked machine turns people’s unconscious collaboration into a personal, poetic moment.
