In an era dominated by the visual our hearing can become an underrated sense. So what can design research into our sonic lives teach us about our contemporary fears? This question is placed at the centre of the design duo’s hybrid platform.
Through research and interviews, they’ve explored the particular sound effects that feed our sensorial feeling of fear. How are the emotions of the receiver manipulated through sonic cues and triggers? And how do they then impact the way we hear our urban environments?
Part installation and part podcast station, this project plays host to a series of conversations and sound performances. Each episode involves discussions between moderators, Studiocalh, and a series of guests who have been given the titles of sound agent or sound politician.

Mutated Industry
Shown at the geodesign online exhibition

COVID-19 is marking a re-structuring of the pharmaceutical landscape as nation states recognize a need for security and resilience within production processes. Heavily affected by the pandemic, the production of paracetamol slowed down significantly while demands grew due to the medication’s positive impact on symptoms of an infection with COVID-19.
In response to the ongoing global pandemic, Mutated Industry points out how a highly confidential and ingrained pharmaceutical industry is developing resilient approaches to redesign its global supply chain. With a scenario set three years in the future, Mutated Industry explores strategies of total reshoring, the return of production back to the company’s original country, of a component critical for pharmaceutical production. A symphonic visual lecture, Mutated Industry addresses possible developments within a global pharmaceutical supply chain incited by disruptions caused by COVID-19.

Soundscapes of Fear

Shown at during the What A Time To Be Alive exhibition at TAC

The project Soundscapes of Fear highlights studiocalh’s ongoing investigation on the relation between sound and the feeling of fear. What can we learn when we consider fear from a sonic perspective?
Through an audiovisual installation, the project explores the growing exposure to sensory information extracted from popular and trending sources such as film, news media, and music The installation consists of different viewing stations exude sounds that trigger the spectrum of alertness, including fear. The structures disseminate the experiences that are crafted in our exposure to the media’s manipulations of our fear triggers. This research visualization is part of the FORMAT 2020 program at Z33 and supported by Creative Industries Fund NL.
