Story summary

Lin Rui's weekend exhibition received complaints about a persistent echo, and Jiang Xu's inspection revealed that speakers from adjacent works were interfering with each other, causing two originally independent audio tracks to be heard as a single story. She initially considered treating the coincidence as a creative effect, but ultimately consulted with the other artist to adjust the speaker orientations and clearly mark the listening areas. The revised exhibition preserved a subtle overlap while restoring a space where each piece could be heard fully on its own.
