SOUND MONSTERS

Letting out inner monsters in real life

Letting out aggressive feelings

An installation system A space where people can SCREAM

Goal: Being connected to users’ emotional feelings

SCREAM!

…screams can express or uncover emotions that cannot easily be put into words. The stress is on showing feelings, not talking about

them.

A Scream Away from Happiness (Daniel Casriel, 1972)

FOR URBAN DWELLERS

…the feeling that there was too much around one in a city to be dealt with. This excess of psychic stimulation, … , led men to try to defend themselves by not reacting emotionally to the people

around them in a city.

Classic Essays on the Culture of Cities (Richard Sennett, 1969)
