At TED2024, marking TED's 40th anniversary, Kling Klang Klong presented a performative talk that invited the entire audience to experience a talk with eyes closed—immersed purely in sound. Utilizing a surround sound system, which was used for the first time in TED's history, we guided listeners into an intimate exploration of auditory perception.
This innovative format highlighted sound’s profound ability to communicate ideas, evoke emotions, and shift perspectives on familiar topics. Through carefully composed sonic environments, we demonstrated how sound alone can vividly sculpt experiences and open imaginative pathways unattainable through visual stimuli. For a deeper exploration into how sound shapes perception and communication, see our article 'The Role of Sound'.
The performance not only celebrated the expressive and communicative power of sound but also showcased the creative breadth and conceptual depth at the heart of our studio's practice.
