Etching Sound
I like the idea of preserving moments/messages/music in analog forms. For example, the vinyl record can take us back right to a specific time and space. And it’s always a good reference for future studies.
So I decided to etch a vinyl record using the newly released “record factory PO-80” by teenage engineering. I cut the sounds of TikTok videos for 3 minutes - me browsing through TikTok just like what I would usually do on this app, and live cutting the sounds at the same time.
The message I want to deliver here is that: A record is supposed to be the length of one song, but 2-3mins of TikTok videos contain a lot of different sounds. The project encourages people to think about the phenomena of short video platforms and the differences between the old / new ways of entertainment.
