Artistic Research Context
RS12000 is a vocal research project exploring the presence of the human voice in care environments. The work focuses on non-intrusive listening, where sound does not guide, instruct, or extract. It proposes a minimal sonic form that supports presence without imposing meaning.
RS12000 audio is organized by care context. This structure supports institutional use and site-based evaluation.
1. Care Environments

A Listening Environment Free from Tracking
The archive operates without listener data collection. This is both a technical and artistic decision, maintaining a direct, unrecorded relationship between sound and listener. The listening space remains free from measurement or tracking.
Deployment Strategy: Phased entry via QR access in selected units.
Care Focus: Non-invasive auditory support for high-stress care phases.
Staff Impact: Intentional decompression for care teams during shifts.
