MFA Graduation Show

For the Royal Institute of Art’s MFA Graduation Show at Konstakademien, Aron exhibited the installation Drift which consisted of a three channel video/audio piece of 10min together with sculptural elements. It revolved around the subject of linguistics:

From within the magnetic hum of an MRI, a body slips into imagined space.

What begins as a medical scan becomes a passage — the tunnel of the machine flickers into other enclosures: a space capsule or a deep-sea vessel. A single German vowel is released, echoing forward.

Drawn by sound, the film enters an opera hall — a space built to shape and be shaped by resonance. Like a bat navigating through echolocation, the voice tests the room with language. But here, it is a moth that answers. The echo returns altered, carrying a message: something is hidden in the applause.

Drift is a linguistic science fiction that bends tools of analysis — voice imaging, architectural acoustics, movement studies — into a speculative mode. It listens for what shifts when sound measures space, and speech begins to echo back, changed.
