From0 is an interactive sound and kinetic installation that explores the unstable and musical nature of language. This unique experience begins with visitors recording words, phrases, or sounds. The installation divides these inputs into twelve fragments, which are then broadcast by pendulums vibrating at their own unique rhythms. Since each pendulum moves at a different speed, it creates a distinctive harmony reminiscent of sliding sounds, and the sequence of words gradually shifts into chaos. Visitors can use button controls to isolate sounds, freeze sequences, or create custom music loops. After a few minutes, the system returns to coherent words once again. The name From0, formed from “From” and “0”, evokes the starting point, the cycle and unity. By playing on repetition and sound evolution, From0 highlights the gap between meaning and form, offering a sensory and emotional immersion in the musicality of language.
