The Sound Flowers project is a kinetic interactive sound installation
deriving from my long-lasting interest and research in the area of human
sensory perception.
The installation consists of a set of audio-kinetic objects (flowers).
A custom sound making mechanism is mounted inside the bottom part of each object.
The mechanism makes sound when the flower swings. Each kinetic flower makes
a sound of different pitch, color, quality and intensity. Together, they
generate an inimitable sound pattern. The audio-kinetic objects function
purely mechanically, utilizing basic principles of physics.
The number of objects in the installation varies according to the artist's
decision and the dimensions of the exhibition space but can not consist
of less than 6 objects.
Each Sound Flower is a kinetic object with a mechanical sound machine hidden inside.
The bottom part of the object is filled up with a heavy material to keep object erected,
sway from side to side, and get back to its original position.
The sound is produced each time the objects are being interacted with.
To experience the work visitors are advised to walk through the installation
similarly to walking through the field or forest and interact with the
Sound Flowers objects.
