Happy Apple Tree- Steven White sound sculpture

Artist Steven White reconstructs obsolete technology, in this case a combine harvester to produce interactive kinetic sound sculpture. The artwork explores issues of technological evolution and devolution, the global economy and it's impact on local landscape. Taking five years to complete, this body of work reflects a playful sense of wonder at the possibilities present with these fragments of technology. The interactive nature of the sculptures engages the viewer in a playful dance; cranks get rotated, sounds are produced and the individuals role in these complex webs is highlighted. http://www.stevenwhite.ca
