About Silver Siren 스피커

Silver Siren은 사이렌 신화에서 영감을 받은 핸드메이드 스피커 프로젝트입니다. 사이렌은 매혹적인 음악과 노랫소리로 인근 선원들을 유인해 섬의 바위가 많은 해안에 난파시키는 위험한 생물이었습니다. 그들은 때때로 목소리뿐만 아니라 몸도 매혹적인 아름다운 여성으로 묘사되었습니다. Silver Siren은 사이렌과 바다의 이미지를 묘사하도록 디자인되었습니다.

Unique Properties: Sirens were dangerous creatures who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. They were sometimes depicted as beautiful women, whose bodies, not only their voices, are seductive. Enchanting but dangerous, isn’t Siren excellent imagery of a beautiful, mysterious speaker with a fluid, organic form? I tried to capture Sirens' moment leaning on the rock, singing and waiting for sailors as well as the color and the movement of ocean waves.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 266 mm x Depth 268 mm x Height 728 mm

Production Technology: I designed the form and the speaker/amplifier enclosures in Rhinoceros. Then laser cut MDF to make a section model. Glue pieces together and sand it to smooth. Then painted primer/automotive paints/clearcoat and assembled all the parts.
Design Challenge: During the development/realization phase, the challenge is how to make the organic form of the speaker and the layout of the internal electronics. I chose to make a section model, which is layers of MDF board, to lower the cost, and also, that would be an easy way to make the inner structure. For the internal electronics, I made a slide to easily take all the parts out of the main body if some components are broken.
Research: I looked into different art pieces and literature about the siren to feel and analyze the imageries of sirens. Then visualized them by a couple of sketches.
Inspiration: My inspiration is the Siren, which is the mythological creature in the sea. In Greek mythology, Sirens were dangerous creatures who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and singing voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. They were sometimes depicted as beautiful women, whose bodies, not only their voices, are seductive. Enchanting but dangerous, isn’t Siren excellent imagery of a beautiful, mysterious speaker with a fluid, organic form? I tried to capture Sirens' moment leaning on the rock, singing and waiting for sailors—also the color and the movement of ocean waves.
Project Duration: The project started in Jan 2019 in Los Angeles and finished in August 2019.
Operation Flow: There is a control penal on the side of the speaker. You could connect to your audio devices by Bluetooth or AUX cable.
