Sound Art : Installation Art : Performance Art : Invisible Speakers

Kristian Eckholm Teater90°

Kristian Eckholm is a Sound Designer working in performing arts, based in Helsinki, Finland.

This video gives a brief demonstration of FeONIC's F4 audio drive being used in the Botanical Gardens Helsinki inside the 150 year old greenhouse.

The effect of the sound on the greenhouse glass is stunning.

FeONIC's audio drives will be used in future productions by Teater90°

The Fragmented Orchestra

The Fragmented Orchestra is a huge distributed musical structure modelled on the firing of the human brain’s neurons. The Fragmented Orchestra will connect 24 public sites across the UK to form a tiny networked cortex, which will adapt, evolve and trigger site-specific sounds via the FACT Gallery in Liverpool.

Each of the sites will have a soundbox installed, which will stream human-made and elemental immersive audio via an artificial neuron to one of 24 invisible speakers in the FACT Gallery. The sound will only be transmitted when the neuron fires. A firing event will cause fragments of sound to be relayed to the gallery and will also be communicated to the cortex as a whole.

The combined sound of the 24 speakers at the gallery will be continuously transmitted and played through 24 FeONIC F1.3 drives attached to existing materials and structures.

The Watch Man

A major multi–media installation making use of FeONIC Invisible Speaker technology exploring trauma memory by artist Shona Illingworth will be shown as part of ‘War and Medicine’, this year’s major temporary exhibition at Wellcome Collection, Euston Road London.

"Shona Illingworth’s careful use of visuals and sound creates an emotionally charged environment that evokes both the pain of the remembered experience and the claustrophobia of feeling trapped inside a disturbed mind."
