Click Ensemble

Sound Installation

Description

“Click Ensemble” consists of wooden structures inspired by meteorological stations and bird houses. Equipped with sensors, the sculptural installation measures temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure levels on a regular basis. Meteorological information is translated to binary code and transmitted in the area in the form of soft tonic clicks produced by a number of solenoids. Following the logic of a grandfather clock, this peculiar engine announces time and weather. With a mix of sounds that are not easily identifiable or understandable by the human ear, this is a continuously changing acoustic ensemble where elements from different worlds meet and intersect.
