Building and Construction Terrains | Alan Cook

Cook explores the links between homelessness, sound, and the built environment. Sculptures shaped from local homelessness data resonate with acoustic and electronic abstractions of recordings from a nearby construction site. Through bone conduction, subtle vibrations travel through metal, air and brick, echoing the rhythms of labour, progress, and human displacement. This installation invites visitors to listen through touch, experience data as vibration and structure as sound. The work reflects on how the structures we build leave social and emotional traces of the lives impacted that endure beyond the material form.
