Make Sound...Visible - The Research

We got a couple of names of things to look at...
The highlights:

*) Alvin Lucier's Clocker

So clocks aren't only for showing time...

*) The Bike Samba

Same goes for bikes. Nice tune even!

*) Christina Kubisch

"Toward the end of the 1970s, I used the system of electromagnetic induction for my sound installations for the first time. As a principle of acoustic transmission, it is based on the sounds resulting from the mutual interaction of magnetic fields. These fields arise on the one hand from electrical wires traversing the room, in which sounds circulate, and on the other from headphones with magnetic coils, which I developed myself. This system, which I have constantly further developed technically and artistically, was the starting point for numerous sound installations realized all over the world since 1980. The basic idea of these sound spaces is to provide the viewer/listener access to his own individual spaces of time and motion. The musical sequences are experiencable in ever-new variations through the listener's motion. The visitor becomes a "mixer" who can put his piece together individually and determine the time frame for himself."

*) Musical Stairs

How fun is that? Sound and movement, different tones depending on timing and distance..

*) Nicolas Schoffer

Make sound visible? This is definetly one way.
