TYRYX is a project by Florence To, an artist and researcher working at the intersection of spatial sound, visual composition, and ecological research. Born in Scotland and of Hong Kong heritage, To originally trained in textiles and tailoring before expanding their practice into digital media and sound installation. Their work examines how sensory environments influence cognitive and emotional perception, using a range of techniques including psychoacoustics, phonetics, and spatial composition. To’s practice is transdisciplinary, drawing from fields such as acoustic ecology, architecture, phenomenology, and language studies. Central to their work is an interest in how sound can function as both medium and method in research. This approach considers sound not only as artistic material, but also as a means of investigating relationships between bodies, environments, and cultural memory. TYRYX explores how sound may reveal intersections between interspecies communication, diasporic identity, and the erosion of minority languages. The work focuses on the political and tonal dimensions of Cantonese, combined with field recordings from ecological research in Argentina. Through this, To examines how voice, rhythm, and environmental sound can be used to construct alternative modes of understanding and listening. To has developed projects and residencies with organisations including Berliner Festspiele, STRP Eindhoven, Mass MoCA, EMPAC, and the Spatialization and Auditory Display.
