LONDON.- Sound artist and former Design Museum 'Designer in Residence' (2012), Yuri Suzuki explores how we navigate and connect to the surrounding world through sound, and how new technologies can be made more relatable through novel implementations of sound design.

This free interactive sound display takes place on the first floor of the museum’s atrium and connects the space by listening tubes. The distinct sections allow members of the public to listen to conversations and spaces between the floors. Garden of Russolo, an installation consisting of sound-absorbing boxes is also on display, allowing visitors to create a sonic experience using their own voice.

Artist Yuri Suzuki says “I am delighted to present "Sound in Mind", which focuses on my practice as a sound artist to date, and how sound can be used as a powerful mode of communication. It is great see the Museum’s development since I was 'Designer in Residence' in 2012, and to display the Tube Map Radio, which I created during this period.”
