Suzuki is a product designer and electronic musician who produces work exploring the link between sound and objects. The exhibition — which sees Suzuki collaborate with a number of other artists including Oscar Diaz and Jerszy Seymour — encourages visitors to interact with the pieces to create their own unique sounds.

Suzuki told Wired.co.uk: “I am really interested in the link between sound and objects and how sound affects human behavior. Sound objects can provoke people in different ways.”

Here are some of the highlights:

The Jellyfish Theremin (above)

A see-through capsule filled with water containing a number of jellyfish. The movements of the jellyfish in the water influence the sound emitted by a theremin, one of the oldest electronic musical instruments.

For the purpose of this exhibition he substituted the jellyfish — which are difficult to come by in the United Kingdom — for goldfish. There are sensors at each end of the aquarium and the volume of the audio changes depending on how far the fish are away from the sensors. Suzuki hopes to develop the Jellyfish Theremin so that it can control not just sound but also light and pictures.

Sound Chaser

Sound Chaser lets visitors assemble pieces of old vinyl records that have been sliced up into small pieces. The pieces are of even width, so that when they’re connected they create something akin to a Scalextrix track upon which a miniature car with a stylus drives. The car then plays the newly created track like a record player thanks to a built-in speaker.
