Little Sei­gla: Noise

Suð (Noise) is an open sound installation where guests create a living soundscape by touching, experimenting with, and playing unusual noise instruments.

The sounds travel through speakers that amplify, distort, and transform them in unpredictable ways. The work continuously evolves as more people take part. Curiosity, experimentation, and collective creation are at the core of the piece, where spectators become participants and the music is created in the moment.

About Studio Suð:
Markús Bjarnason is a designer and artist with a degree from the Iceland University of the Arts. His work explores the intersection of sound, design, and visual art, with a particular focus on perception and the experience of space

Markús Bjarnason and Heiðbjört Arney Höskuldsdóttir are the founders of Stúdíó Suð, an art-driven design studio operating between the fields of design and art, with a special interest in noise, both visual and sonic.

The Suð-instruments they have developed are unconventional sound objects that function as playable sound sculptures. Visitors are invited to touch, explore, and play them, creating evolving soundscapes through interaction. The sounds travel through Suð-speakers, resulting in a constantly changing sonic environment shaped by participation and experimentation.
