Ex convict designSchock launches new colourways for sinks

23.03.2012 — Collaboration in Milan

For Milan Design week designers Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen of molo are collaborating with sound artist Ethan Rose to create a multi sensory installation within the 16th century cloisters of an Olivetan Monastery.

The cloisters are within Milan�s Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci and the Museum will house a new hub for the Design Week, called MOST, an exhibition curated and initiated by Tom Dixon.

All aspects of the molo installation will be integrated through the medium of paper. Ethan Rose will generate a composition that draws from a range of musical and �paper sounds� to sonically activate a passageway of molo softwalls. The sounds of tearing, ripping, and crunching paper as well as the �paper rhythms� that are specific to running your fingers along the flexible honeycomb paper walls and the rain like sound of the walls opening will all be recorded and introduced as compositional material.

Prototypes have been created that turn molo softwalls into speakers, whereby sound vibrations travel through the paper fins of the wall. Walking through a winding 14-metre long passageway between two yellow walls you will hear the sounds of Ethan�s paper music. This will be a very physical sensation of sound with different sounds emerging from different locations along the wall.

Touching the paper walls you will feel the vibrations of the music. molo�s cloud softlight mobiles will hang overhead, moving with a gentle buoyancy in the air currents of the cloister archways. In the afternoon, the yellow paper walls of the passage will glow through transference of natural daylight. At night the walls turn golden, made luminous from within by an LED system patented by molo, and the clouds overhead will softly glow in each archway.
