Artist Jazoo Yang & haku Sungho

Using the same principle of a string telephone played by kids, this device delivers frictional vibrations of the canvas made by stroke of an artist -- JAZOO Yang through metal springs to a musician -- haku sungho. The collected sounds from the device are taken into a computer and simultaneously the musician proceeds sampling and recording the sounds. The sounds (of strokes) are amplified and affected by prepared speakers and a guitar amp, and it conveys the trajectory of the painter's motion to the painter herself again. Every sound source is oscillated from the canvas.
