Cloud

Cloud is a sound installation which works with electromagnetic induction. The cloud is a hanging structure made of ca. 1500 meter of black (or other colour) electrical cable which is not only a visual object but as well a sound sculpture. The public receives a special custom made headphone by which it can explore the hidden acoustic world of the sound installation.
The sounds of the cloud are received through the system of electromagmetic induction. The sources are electrical waves which are produced by digital communication systems, security installations and other dense electrical fields: data processing centers, server rooms, offices, airports, shopping areas, server rooms etc. The 12 channels of sound will be mixed together by the public itself – according to their movements around and even under the cloud, the sounds will mingle and fade into each other in always different individual ways.
