whisper machine

this is another project I am doing while at PICA. It has developed as a result of the horrible acoustics in my studio: the echoing walls make it impossible to hear what anyone says to me. I realized that it would be impossible to give an artist's talk in these conditions, so decided to build a "whisper machine" as a form of public address.
Here are a couple of photos of it in its current, partially assembled, state.
