The project works with voice as an archive, treating spoken commands as collected and reconfigured sound material. It examines the relationship between silence, command, and resistance, focusing on how different commands shape the listener’s reactions and internal responses. It considers how listeners are positioned within systems of control, while still being offered the choice to follow or refuse.

Manifested through a three-part multimedia installation consisting of a printed guide, a phone-activated sound system, and a set of printed command papers that visitors can interact with.

Common phrases Follow instructions are isolated from their original contexts and authority, and presented as sound objects. By placing these commands within an interactive archive, the work critically examines how language operates as a mechanism for training, conditioning, and normalising obedience overtime.
