MALAYEEN.SPACE (2021) (Edition commissioned for Serendipity Arts Festival 2023) Leyya Mona Tawil Participatory New Media Installation Projection, Mic, Digital Interface, ‘On Air’ lightbox, Computer Console, Keyboard, Mouse, Standing Table, Fabric, LED lights and Mounted Speakers DEC 15-23 2023 MALAYEEN.SPACE aims to revive and preserve cultural narratives that are at risk of being forgotten by encouraging participants to “SING TO THE STARS!”. Simulating a recording studio, Leyya Mona Tawil’s installation invites participants to enter and contribute their own recordings. Once a recording is submitted, the song that plays back is modulated by the participant’s unique answers. The audio transformations are governed by the distance (in km) between the contributor and the location of their song’s origin, their distance in time to this place, and the song’s intent. By involving visitors in the process of recording and sharing, the installation transforms into an evolving archive. By highlighting the importance of remembering and celebrating the stories and traditions of diasporic communities, MALAYEEN.SPACE addresses sacredness as something that is an ongoing, participatory narrative rather than a static collection. MALAYEEN.SPACE was developed by Leyya Mona Tawil and code designer Andrej Hrončo, as part of the larger Noise & Nation project by Lime Rickey International. The project reflects Tawil’s diverse heritage, blending Syrian, Palestinian, and American influences. It features an interactive collection of songs and stories, influenced by their origins and the contributors’ backgrounds. a peek: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1FN1RHLkjH/
