Repeating the same actions multiple times every day, such as scanning one's face on a copier or crinkling a bag of potato chips. These seemingly peculiar behavioral characteristics are their everyday routines, bringing them a sense of calmness and expressing their feelings. In this project, we focus on the "ambient sounds" arising from these actions and capture various sounds as part of "ROUTINE RECORDS."

In the center of the space, there is a DJ booth where visitors can mix the collected routine sounds and create original tracks. The everyday routines of individuals become "music," and by turning these sounds into music with their own hands, it attempts to bridge the gap between people with intellectual disabilities and visitors, creating a seamless connection to their daily lives. Additionally, original tracks using routine sounds by track maker Kan Sano were also created.

The logo, posters, and special website visuals are designed around ASCII art (a form of art created by combining characters and symbols). The design aims to visualize the process of routine symbols accumulating into music (ASCII art) and taking on new meanings in this exhibition. Each sound is displayed as a record, capturing the image of a routine performer playing routine sounds and expressing it through ASCII art.

Visitors can take a complete tour around the exhibition space to gain a multifaceted understanding of the various sounds derived from the daily lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities and the creative process behind them. In the DJ booth, they can interact with the items used in the routine to create music by pressing corresponding numbered buttons to play specific sounds.

The exhibition "lab.5 ROUTINE RECORDS" is just the starting point of the project. This project aims to repeatedly replay memories of the heart and will continue into the future. There are countless "ROUTINE RECORDS" created by individuals with intellectual disabilities, and through sound, they will showcase their uniqueness to the world, fostering positive changes in people's perception of welfare and intellectual disabilities. This is the ongoing goal.
