Circuladium
Hui-Ying Tsai & Jonathan Grover

Circuladium believes space is defined by exercising our presence. Its focus is on experimenting with technology and materials to create interactive sculptures and installations that reinforce the connection between material and spirit through the human body.

This exhibition shows several interactive sound pieces in the form of shells that symbolize pure and poetic wonder in the universe. Shells are widely used in ancient rituals and ceremonies to communicate with the unknown across cultures. History and mythology underlie the foundation of spirituality. It is a continuously evolving relationship that reflects on both a physical and spiritual level in everyday life.

The artworks embody the metaphysical concepts via sensory interpretation that can transcend language, culture, and locality.

An interview by Editorial Magazine about all of the pieces exhibited in this show can be found here.
