SooA Kim – Looking Outwards – 04

Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller are artists known for making sound art in sculptural form and bringing an aural experience to the audience in the space. I have been inspired by Cardiff & Bures Miller’s work in my art practice and realized that their works have been progressed into creating generative sound art installation work. Experiment in F# minor is one of the works where sound is triggered from the viewer’s shadows. By using the light sensors, the shadows cause instrumental tracks coming from the speakers to fade up, overlapping and mingling into various soundscape. As more audience fill in the room, it crates a cacophony of musical compositions and, with less audience in the room, the installation table remains in silence.
