Installation view at the Hunt Kastner Artworks, Prague. 

Electric wires climb the white walls, following not a casual pattern, but a defined one, after an accurate study of the growth of the ivy. Black lines design organic forms; brances form which unusual flowers blossom: conical speakers of various dimensions. A previously defined soundscape is given forth by some of these peculiar buds which acts as a background to the acoustic improvisation, determined instead by the human presence. Every noise is being captured by a series of microphones and random samples are taken in real time by a custom designed software, and rendered back through the speakers. Voices, steps, movements, nourish the installation. The totally synthetic sound, generated by this technological parasite creates however the illusion of being in a natural environment. 

This is how an electric Audi sounds on the road.

Listen here - A great art project by Nicola Hume who lets people listen into different locations. 

…and the best part is it’s portable!  A re-purposed pot rack, simply hung onto cup hooks, I can slip it right off and take it to school with me so my students can enjoy it, too! We even wired our wooden spoon and whisk “bangers” right onto it so they can’t migrate away :)
