Victoria Keddie's White Noise Project Explores Phonetic Language Through Sound and Data

Artist Victoria Keddie has released 'Pshal, P'shaw' as part of the White Noise project, a collaboration between Raster Media and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt. The work investigates the sonic qualities of American English diphthongs through recordings with international participants, examining how speech sounds are physically produced. Keddie transforms phonetic elements into an immersive artistic experience that connects sound materiality with linguistic architecture, inspired by Hermann Finsterlin's speculative designs. The project contributes to understanding sensory perception, language expression, and cultural identity.
