Outdoor sound sculpture
to be ‘played’ by wind.
Artist Luke Jerram is preparing an outdoor ‘acoustic pavilion’ called Aeolus, which will be built of hundreds of metal tubes acting as Aeolian harps. Each tube will contain strings which will strike chords inside the structure as the wind passes over them, making the whole structure sing. Visitors to the piece will be able to sit in the center of the structure, and the tubes will act as lighting filters, speckling the interior with shifting light. Jerrem’s work includes a number of environmentally focused projects, including one that amplifies and orchestrates sounds made by plants.

Sculpture de son
extérieur à confier au vent.
L’aritste Luke Jerram
prépare son ‘pavillon acoustique’ Eole qui sera composé de centaines de tubes
de métal destinés à jouer le rôle d’harpes éoliennes. Chaque tube renferme des
cordes qui, au gré du vent qui les heurtera, en atteindront d’autres et
créeront des accords, l’entière structure façonnera ainsi une ballade éolienne.
Les visiteurs auront la possibilité de s’asseoir au centre de la structure, les
tubes deviendront alors des filtres qui répartiront la lumière à l’intérieur en
différentes lueurs cristallines. Le travail de Jerram se poursuit avec des
projets d’art environnemental dont un
qui aura pour but d’amplifier et d’orchestrer les sons produits par les
plantes.
