Molecular Roulette- 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

i like your sculptures and give you props for solid craftsmanship, but the sounds in a lot of your videos are somewhat abrasive...a little more rhythm and cohesive sounds would go a long way...for instance, waves at the ocean are beatiful to listen to because they're dynamic and fluid, always changing just slightly enough to be interesting, not like the annoying clatter of your typical patio chimes...nice work though! it's inspiring for an architecture project i'm working on
