manual transmissions

manual transmissions

manual transmissions is an ongoing body of work composed of improvised analog structures, poetic objects, listening systems, and provisional transmission devices constructed through found materials, literary activation, intuitive assembly, and low-tech processes.

Emerging in part from earlier language-based works associated with haikussemblage, the series explores the translation of words, memory, resonance, and embodied perception into unstable physical forms. Poems, sounds, signals, and fragments of cultural memory operate as initiating structures — activating temporary architectures that oscillate between sculpture, instrument, diagram, and behavioral system.

Moving between literary interpretation and analog signal logic, the works function less as fixed objects than as fragile carriers of transmission: hand-built forms shaped through improvisation, feedback, accumulation, listening, and material response.
