Seismic Activity On Windows

seismographs, connection cables, subwoovers, W-Lan Installation

Das Numen SONOR was exhibited at Schinkel Pavillon Berlin in 2013. The installation transformed the exhibition space into a sound sculpture. Seven seismographs were installed throughout the city in seven specifically chosen spaces and registered the vibrations around them. Having been positioned in a quasi-circular pattern around Schinkel Pavillon, the sounds of this cartography were submitted to the seven windows of the octagonal exhibition space - just as if the city was pressing on the pavillion as their center or compass. Through bass frequencies the variations in vibration become audible and palpable inside the exhibition space.
