nordmaschine

Installation views at the singuhr-hörgalerie, Berlin, Germany, May, 2001. Lights, speakers, fans, custom electronics, sound (dimensions variable).



In a dimly-lit room a set of small lights fade in and shut off repeatedly at varying intervals. Concurrent with this a set of speakers with fans attached to them broadcast long and slowly changing tones. The movement of the fans causes the sounds to modulate and a perpetually shifting resonant terrain fluctuates around the listener. By gently shaping an enclosed area with sound and light, Nordmaschine functions as a physical meditation on the passage of changing energy fields though a space.
