“I invite you to close your eyes and open them when you feel something.” Hachō – a Japanese concept, translated as wavelength/fluctuation – means that when someone’s wavelength matches to that of another person, communication between them happens more naturally; they feel comfortable being with each other. But what makes people feel (un)comfortable? Why do we feel more relaxed with the sound of raindrops, waves rolling by, or rustling leaves? Scientifically it’s because of pink noise. Unlike white noise (a static sound - think of the drone of a ceiling fan, machinery), pink noise can be found in nature. In HACHŌ, we evoke this ambivalence between feeling comfortable and uncomfortable and we try to move the thin line that separates these two oppositions. HACHŌ is about frequencies and fluctuations (in the broad sense of the word), in heartbeat intervals, respiration, brain waves, light cycles; through the visual and auditory frequencies by which we communicate, in movement and in sound.
