Notification​

sound installation, 2023, 47” loop, in situ installation

​

​

The sound installation "Notification" features a single speaker placed near a window, playing an artificially emulated gong every 47 seconds, created by blending common phone notification sounds. The work encourages viewers to reflect on their attention span, patience, and how they respond to stillness. It highlights how the average viewing attention span has dropped from 2.5 minutes in 2004 to just 47 seconds by 2021. The installation challenges the traditional role of notifications as a distraction, transforming them into a meditative tool that helps people focus on the present, while also drawing parallels between modern notification sounds and ancient gongs known for their mental stimulation.
