CONVERSION BODY
BALLISTICS TO ACOUSTICS
A radical mechanical inversion: mounting high-pressure reed pipes onto a tracked vehicle chassis. A historical replica where launchers are loaded not with warheads, but with resonators. Objective: The transmutation of kinetic destructive energy into acoustic sound pressure. A performative contradiction.
ID // ___ LAO-ZI
STATUS: LATENCY
The instrument is silent. In a present dominated by the rhetoric of rearmament, the resonance space for transformation is absent. The machine’s silence is not a malfunction, but an operational decision. System in standby mode.
