London-based product/sound designer Yuri Suzuki's first major exhibition is currently open at the KK Outlet in London (run by our favorite advertising firm KesselsKramer), entitled Sound Interjection, and produced in partnership with Oscar Diaz.
Suzuki explores sound through designed objects, which have included hand cut and pressed records, singing tea kettles and a jellyfish theremin in the past, and, most recently the Color Chaser, a robot that produces sounds from markings on a piece of paper; Rec/Play pens, writing utensils that record and play back sound; and the Barcode Book, a graphic story that reveals information about itself through barcodes in the illustrations.
