We MET Hear

Project type

Exhibition

Date

January 2026

Location

Cambridge, MA

We MET Hear is a collaborative proposal with Risako Nozaki, submitted to Occupancy - the inaugural exhibition at the Metropolitan Warehouse to commemorate MIT SA+P's move to the site. The installation is a 15×15-foot enclosed structure responding to the building's adaptive reuse. Inside, a five-channel speaker system plays sounds gathered from the site's layered past: water, marshland, filled land, brick, and glass. These sounds are recorded from locations significant to the building and regional history, such as the Charles River, local wetlands, the Metropolitan Warehouse itself, and other sites that connect to the area's transformation over time. The installation remains quiet until a visitor makes a sound, triggering the speakers to rise in volume for 20 seconds, creating a dialogue between the visitor and the site's history. Sculpted acoustic foam lines the interior walls, inviting visitors to press and lean into the space, becoming aware of how their bodies occupy and leave temporary impressions. On the exterior, clear boxes display objects contributed by the community, turning the structure into a storage unit of shared memory. Visitors leave stickers on the outside walls noting who or what they "met" inside, adding their presence to the work. Renderings by Risako Nozaki.
