Join us in celebrating Sing Sun Room coinciding with Tune(Out)))side 2007.
The inaugural work in the Wave Farm Sculpture Garden, Sing Sun Room is an interactive sound sculpture and installation by artist Matt Bua. The project employs an existing mobile home located on the Wave Farm property and creates a custom addition or outgrowth, which functions as a gazebo space that harnesses various elements (wind, water, and solar) in order to transfer them into sound. Wind: Part of the structure wall will be built with embedded whistle technologies, which react to various amounts of wind. Sections of the walls may be opened and closed in order to control or ?play? thematic groupings such as Unison pitches and specific tones.
Water/Rain: Water/Rain: By devising an acoustic system, which reacts to rain fall, the structure will have a precipitation-reactive voice.
Solar/Sun: The exterior of the structure will be outfitted with custom solar panels; the energy collected will be translated into sound. This technology is based on the solar inventions of Nikola Tesla, who is credited along with Guiglielmo Marconi as having invented radio.Other sounds will be made using experiments of Alessandro Volta, Michael Faraday and others.
During the planning and construction process Bua will meet with a group of local teens interested in contemporary art and renewable energy practices. Through a series of workshops, the group will learn about individual expression while working collaboratively on visual and sound-based art.
