Technical Statement The electronic installation, Miscommunication, mainly consists of five components: the sound record-and-play part which uses the newly-designed loop cassette tape, the sound alteration part with five standard servos and a servo controller, two data gloves which have ten flexi sensors, two sound input devices, and two speakers. As participants speak into the microphones and make various hand gestures while wearing the data gloves, the sound generation device makes altered multiple-layered voices similar to a modulated electronic echo. With the flexi sensors in the data gloves, each finger can manipulate specific variables of sound. While making hand gestures, according to the bent degree of the flexi sensors, each sensor in the data gloves sends signals to the main servo controller, which gives five servos specific movements to modulate five properties of sound: sound speed, speaker volume, physical echo, microphone
volume,
and balance. Through the process, the participants can hear their irregularly altered multiple-layered voices. When they hear their duplicated voice though this device, they feel the confusion of voices. The electronic work, which makes altered multiple sound layers, allows participants to indirectly experience the communication barrier through this chaos of sound and language.
