Yuri Suzuki

l. London/Margate (UK)

Suzuki’s practice uses sound as a medium to shape spaces and engage the public in a dynamic social discourse. His aural and visual works are journeys delving into human interrelationships, intersecting different aspects of culture and genre to cross boundaries and celebrate idiosyncrasy. Openness and inclusivity are key to Suzuki’s practice: to be accessible to the many.

Recent public commissions are not only give physical form to sound, but explore its potential for participation. Drawing upon field research and developments in science, his installations use artificial intelligence and machine learning as autonomous generative tools. In contrast to their physical permanence, the works AI-generated sound is ever-evolving. Each viewer not only has a unique experience of the work but can contribute to and enrich the experience for others. This deliberate contrast between the sculptural and the sonic, the permanent and the evolving, suggests a tension between sanctioned narratives and the recognition of the boundless nature of time, space and humanity.
