AUDINT’s sound installation Cicada Sound System explores the waveformed fears and anxieties surrounding Havana Syndrome — a series of “anomalous health incidents” in US embassies that started in Cuba in 2016 which subsequently occurred in India, China, and Europe. Many of the embassy staff have reported suffering chronic symptoms such as issues with balance and cognition, insomnia, and headaches. The causes of the syndrome are still unknown but that has not stopped a plethora of explanations being forwarded, ranging from ultrasonic and microwave weapons to mass hysteria to cicadas. Many of the rationales presented by scientists, political theorists and politicians have attributed the medical conditions to insidious covert activities carried out by unidentified foreign actors.
