Body speak – tuned to your frequency
The device draws the wearer below the surface of his own skin and allows them to investigate and remix the various sounds of his bodily functions.
The project is a commentary and criticism of the use of invasive technologies, such as X-rays and small cameras used to observe internal organs, by the medical industry to probe the human body.
For me, this project suggests a certain spirituality that requests the user to listen and “tune” the frequency of his own body. It’s almost a metaphor for meditation.

“Body Speaker” consists of a number of sound capturing wearables that amplify and capture the mysterious internal sounds of a body. The device draws the wearer below the surface of his own skin and allows them to investigate and remix the various sounds of his bodily functions.
