Sweepcase is an interactive sound installation inviting visitors to place everyday objects into a suitcase. When closed, the system sonifies the objects’ material traits, creating ephemeral soundscapes. It challenges fixed authorship and meaning, redistributing agency among audience, objects, system, and artists. Sweepcase invites reflection on the poetic and performative potential of the mundane.
