Interactive sound installation
Metal, solar panels, arduino, electronic compass sensor, amplifiers, speakers, shakers

Acoustic Horizon is a performative/interactive installation that consists of a hexagonal horn-shaped sculpture, transistors, solar panels, a location sensor (electronic compass), speakers and shakers. The interactive sound installation is powered with solar panels and can be rotated. According to the direction, it brings distant city sounds to the location and lets the audience listen to the “horizon”.
As an interactive sound installation, Acoustic Horizon deals with the acoustic relationship between the human and its environment. Using a soundscape approach, the installation reflects on both the history, present and possible future environmental quality of the site by actively blurring the boundaries of proximity and distance. It creates sound forms by generating connections between concepts that we see as opposing such as distant/close, nature/technology, conscious/unconscious, natural/artificial or physical and emotional.
