Meandering River is an art installation that is located at Funkhaus Berlin. Created by the design group Kling Klang Klong, the installation is to create a vibrant river landscape that is created through the random music or sound within the room. The combination of sound and real-time painting is to create the sensation of time and the journey that it creates. By taking in the sound and deriving a colorful river landscape, admirers of the artwork is to perceive transformation over time and not only admire the instant snapshot of the ever changing surrounding.

This project caught my eye because I am captivated on how the artists were able to combine different mediums of sound, painting, and digital computation to create a perception of change. Instead of showing the basic snapshots of change through time, the human experience of sound is the dictating factor of the change within the art itself. As designers, I believe that we should strive to merge different mediums to further enhance people’s perception of our work.
