The structure is hand-formed from 22-gauge bronze and brass sheets, creating a sculptural collar that houses miniature speakers and microphones. At its core, a Bela Board microcontroller runs Pure Data software, enabling real-time audio processing with near-zero latency. The system continuously samples ambient environmental sounds through omnidirectional microphones, then plays back processed audio through embedded speakers to mask the wearer's acoustic presence. The metalwork is shaped to optimize speaker placement and sound distribution, while the material's acoustic properties contribute to the overall sound profile. Sponsored by Hyundai Motor Company, the piece explores auditory camouflage through wearable technology.
