Signal Flow is a performance where the belly listens, a finger plucks the collarbone, and vibrations travel through the skin. Each sound wave rises and falls, different every time, yet always finite. The body makes itself heard and seen, letting its presence be read through movement and resonance. Resonance transceivers and microphones, cast in clay and shaped to fit the body, render the interior space of the belly audible through touch. These ceramic instruments are at once sculptures and extensions of the body. Vibrations captured by water flow into a rounded bowl and rest in the hands.
