Sound in motion
This consisted of
two works by a Swiss artist Zimoun which although of architectural form were
designed to generate sound. The first one you came two was hundreds of thin
wire rods mounted in a line along a wall which flicked from side to sound a
made a noise a bit like a waterfall.
The second was a
series of big brown boxes forming a wall each of which had a ball on a
mechanical pivot which made the ball beat against the box in different rhythms.
It was amazing how the boxes amplified the noise and how it was a
different volume depending where you
stood in the room. I found this work really relaxing and could have sat with it
for ages.
