Flow Noise I, 2024, Mixed media (wood, speaker, amplifier, images, 2-channel sound), Channel 1: 53 sec. / Channel 2: 50 sec., 52 × 9 × 103.5 cm

Flow Noise I is a sound object and analog interactive installation, created from sounds collected in nature. The wooden structure contains two built-in speakers and an amplifier, each emitting a distinct natural sound. When viewers rotate the piece by hand, the direction and resonance of the sounds change in response, generating a real-time auditory transformation. Through this interaction, the artist explores how the sounds of nature can be reconfigured within space through technological mediation. The work extends beyond a purely auditory experience, inviting physical engagement and sensory expansion. By translating the intangible element of “wind” into a tactile experience of rotation, vibration, and resonance, Kim introduces a new sensory structure in which hearing and touch intersect. This analog operation restores modes of perception and response within an era dominated by digital interfaces, articulating the artist’s intention to construct a sensory field where nature, human presence, and technology coexist.
