Hakumei 1.2 reconfigured five tracks from Hakumei as a spatial sound installation. Suspended omnidirectional speakers, floor-mounted coaxial speakers, and a central subwoofer created an acoustic field in which sound could be felt physically through the body. Intermittent flashes of light repeatedly disrupted dark-adapted vision, destabilizing perception within the dim space. Rather than presenting the source material as it was, the work re-examined Hakumei through a different spatial, sculptural, and bodily composition.
