NYEAF 2011 John Morton, Jacqueline Shatz : WaterWall

Water is crucial to human existence. As a resource, it flows purely from the depths and heights of our planet, and yet it is subject to the follies of humankind: wars, conflicts, population, waste and reclamation. In the urban environment water falls from the sky and we open the tap; little thought is given to the nature and critical management of water. WaterWall is a sonic sculpture of tuned metal bowls, plates and sluices that are amplified and distributed to an array of speakers in the walkway. The acoustic sound, the kinetic movement of the water on the sculpture and the sonic events create a musical, spacial, sculptural and theatrical link to the urban experience of water.
