Demonstrative video of LINES – an interactive sound art exhibition

This week for my selected sound art project, I chose Swedish composer, Anders Lind’s, interactive sound art exhibition, titled “LINES.” In this sound exhibition, colored lines attached to the wall generate sound when touched. As this project is a mesh of both sound and art, it not only enables new forms of musical interaction, but it promotes innovate art exploration. The various combinations of sound that can be produced through interaction with different locations on the lines allows for unique, and inventive music. I admire that the final installation may appear to be minimalistic, but the sound component of the project allow for intricacies of sound combinations, ultimately creating a complex piece. I believe that the success of this piece can be mainly attributed to the interactive components, as users can either touch the lines with their fingers or run, walk, and hop across the lines.

Here is another video of a LINES exhibit:
