Omphalomin - a public sound sculpture

[suncu91]

it would be interesting too see it when it rains

[gunmaria]

@suncu91 rain doesn't make a difference - as long as there is daylight

[bebeiron]

Underbar. Love it :)

[gunmaria]

@bebeiron tack!

[picklesnorf101]

It's very pretty and sleek it looks and sounds like it's from the future. Very nice sculpture. PEACE x_X

[SeriousIlya]

Very, very interesting. How does it work? Im guessing it's either electronic, or something to do with the air going through and being compressed.

Id love to make stuff like that in the future, though Im more of a painter than a sculptor

@SeriousIlya

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Yes it's electronic, it works with optical sensors. Inspiration for this piece was the theremin, on of the first electronical instruments.

The concet is wonderful especially because its silent by night there is something quite mystical about that. it really is brilliant

[twiginthewind]

Onkohan tuo vielä ehjänä? :D

[gunmaria]

kyllä on, siitä vaan soittamaan...

[twiginthewind]

No tämä on mukava kuulla, se kun on puistossa... heh. Valitettavasti en enää pääse kokeilemaan kun asustelen nykyään täällä kaukana, kaukana Lapissa. ;)

[gunmaria]

joo, se oli itse asiassa välillä rikki syyskuussa - joku oli käynyt sen kimppuun rumilla välineillä - mutta se korjattiin. Ilkivalta vähän kuuluu asiaan;) Ja kerran ukkonen häiritsi systeemiä...

[sum1unxpected]

how does it work?

[gunmaria]

it works with sensors... the rest is a secret;)

[DAKMAIN]

@gunmaria Heat sensors, like the ones now in my ipod, right?

[gunmaria]

@DAKMAIN It uses optical sensors (light sensors)

[puchalinda]

Congratulations! I would love to play with it...

[gunmaria]

Thanks! Next time you visit Helsinki!

[hyasop]

is it solar powered or battery powered or what

[gunmaria]

Solar power was an option at some point, but no... The instrument is connected to the the city's network. It consumes very little electricity.

[Blackmailman]

That's an awesome idea.

[theflowerhead]

Neat! <3
