Transition Soundings
Transition Soundings (image above, video below) by David Birchfield, David Lorig, Kelly Phillips and Assegid Kidané is an interactive public sound art sculpture located at a bus stop in Tempe, Arizona, America. The installations structure:
"has the appearance of a large transit map with hubs and paths connecting locations across its surface. However, this stylize ‘map’ is actually a large network of sensors and speakers that trace paths in sound across the surface of the wall. As users move and gesture infront of the piece, a network of proximity sensors initiates sonic events that wash across the surface in a fashion that references ripples across the surface of water. Sound events propagate through the network in a way that mimics movement of traffic, ideas, currents, and connections in the networks of our lives."
