Hum

www.marlahlady.com

Mounted on each ceiling fan is one speaker and audio equipment. Sound is activated with a tilt switch (movement activated switch) when a fan starts spinning. The sound consists of a simple, hummed melody. Each 2 minute recording is endlessly looped while the fan spins six fans spinning six melodies to create a chorus. The spinning speakers give the audio a tremolo effect (like the spinning speakers of the Hammond organ) which varies based on the fans speed. Each fan is moving in the same pattern (controlled by a computer) but the staggered start time of each fan results in an ever-changing pattern.

Exhibition History:
2003 York Quay Gallery (Toronto); 2005 Toronto Convention Centre (in conjunction with Toronto International Art Fair)

@djfjgfhgh Only the front fan is good, the rest are cheap.

You can do that on the cheap industrial like Banvil Bronzeline, but on the good industrial like a Silverline, NO NO!

[CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

The very front fan is a Banvil Silverline which is NOT okay to put speakers on, but the rest of the fans are Banvil Bronzeline and it is 1 of the best industrial ceiling fans to put speakers on.
