‘Pond’ theorises gravitational waves as human interactions on a horizontal axis, particularly of an intimate nature, and the external effect that can be perceived from an individual unit on its external environment. Featuring spoken word contributions from multidisciplinary artist Rina Fu (recorded presenting her writing on gravitational waves at the Gingin Observatory) and both Mandarin and English research extracts from STEM partner Dr Linqing Wen, the work integrates floating articulations of the human voice and manipulated brass valves, set over a flowing synthetic compound.
