V–A–C Sreda online magazine presents a new three-month programme dedicated to the place, role, and transformation of sound in contemporary art and everyday life.

In this issue, we publish a work by the Kai Lab team. Laser Microphone is an interactive sound object that amplifies the smallest physical vibrations and transmits them to the listener through special headphones or speakers. The device makes it possible to study sounds inaccessible to the human ear in natural conditions—for example, the sound of insect wings vibrating.
