We would like to create an interpretation of the memorial process when sound information enters our brain hemisphere and begins to pass and transform itself on the inside depending on where it is located.
Is also included in this memorial process, the ability to record this information, manipulate and observe its deformations over time.
So we decided to create a sound recording system with the capable to create an infinite loop.
This system is equipped with a microphone, a recording function and two speakers.
The idea is that each speaker corresponds to a brain function defined by its relationship with the outside world.
The left speaker is the live sound recording and thus the left hemisphere of the brain. Indeed, this speaker is directly connected to the microphone output with a recording function coupled with a "loop".
Thus, when recording a message to the microphone, it will be automatically replayed indefinitely at the end of the recording.
The right speaker is the deformation of this message and therefore has the right hemisphere of the brain. It is also connected to the microphone and the recording function.
However, it is also equipped with a delay effect creating an infinite feedback and thus distorting the message into an abstract noise.
This particularly noise also represents the presence of a memory in the brain which is not "active", when the memory comes back, you can hear the recording very clearly. The infinity feedback loop is a metaphor for instant memory process.
With two potentiometers, the spectator has the ability to change these two characteristics, thus, he can access at any time to the original fragment of the first record and also can replace it with his own.
Then, the new record represent the fact that this memory overwrite the past memory.
The left button equals the direct recording of you memory and the right one equals its deformation/the fact that you begin to forget this memory, then it becomes a sound.
