‘graphics speak’ exhibition by weng nam yap

conceived by malaysian designer weng nam yap, ‘graphics speak’ is about translating visual elements to sound, as it consists of a collection of patterns that can be turned into audible experience. each archetype has its own harmonious composition made by mixing them on a turntable. the installation is contextualized within a darkroom, by broadcasting live video recording of the graphics on an analog television, where the transmitted electromagnetic waves are translated into sound through using a sensor.
