Martin Kersels (1994) Brown Sound Kit.

Kersels created an installation based from sonic weapons which were first developed by the Nazis for the purposes of crowd control. Kersels' piece emits low frequency infrasound waves which if turned on, would make viewers shit themselves. Utilising a speaker, an amplifier, an equaliser and an oscillator, all contained with a mobile yellow case, Brown Sound Kit works reflexively of the fact that experiments in weapons technology were also important in the development of sound systems for music.

Artists’ Statement: Toilets are a shared space amongst people from all walks of life; and within these space are more often than not, unspoken rules for people to follow. Flush the toilet after using, use only what you must. ‘Toilets: Our Shared Space’ explores the nature of getting people together, and with a set of simple but open instructions, to create a piece of music together; and enjoy the symphony of the space as itself.

Installations at the Re-Imagining Toilets event based on the research for Around The Toilet (2015), exploring access needs regarding toilets and queer and/or disabled people.
