KaCaMa Design Lab x Ob/ik Soundwork

PMQ - Sept 2020

18.09–04.10.2020

Location: Courtyard, G/F

In a semi-open setting with a background music system, this installation let people record their feelings, thoughts and stories that he or she would like to share onto cassette tapes, an old analog recording format.

The installation is divided into two parts: on the outside lies a cozy bench where people can take a seat, relax, and listen to others’ recordings. On the inside is a tranquil space as a recording room. People can express their feelings or respond to the others by recording onto a cassette tape. This creates intriguing conversations that keep going.
