Blind Box sits at the
intersection between my
sensor-equipped gloves and the
transparent laboratory glove
boxes commonly used in research
environments:

Handling dangerous materials
with a Glove Box in a Lab
Unlike its
clinical counterparts, my
Blind Box is constructed
from wood rather than plastic,
emphasizing opacity, tactility,
and uncertainty. The project was
originally conceived as a
portable case—a small, mobile
studio designed to record found
objects encountered in the
street, later integrating those
recordings into my musical work.
During test recordings in my
studio, however, I discovered a
far more powerful potential: the
Blind Box became a tool
for transforming tactile
experiences directly into sound.
Over time, I developed a
collection of sonic found
objects to inhabit the Blind
Box, which is now presented
as an interactive sound
installation. By removing visual
access and privileging touch,
the work invites participants to
engage with sound in an
unfamiliar and intimate way.
Audience reactions vary widely,
ranging from unease and
hesitation to sonic excitement,
curiosity, surprise, and even
playfulness.
