N2 - Humans are giants compared to the objects in their environments, and this difference influences how we interact with and perceive those objects. The Audible Giant explores a shift in perspective by scaling objects from their original 1:1 scale to human scale, thus enabling humans to experience the world of objects through auditory immersion. We designed a miniature floor where objects inhabit their true scale, capturing the sounds of their movements, impacts, and vibrations. These sounds are then transmitted and amplified through a human-scale floor, creating an auditory experience that transforms human perception. This system bridges the gap between human and object scales, allowing humans to inhabit the world of objects and perceive them as equals.
