new luminoacoustic project, drive 01: Zagreb


After presenting our first research in construction of sound that is produced via conversion of artificial light objects through photovoltaic effect of solar panels and last year’s work on changes in the structures of sound generated from natural daylight, in this project we introduce a new approach to luminal sound contents.

This time, the work is based on the relation between accidental light elements needed to produce a sound image. Six solar panels are set on the roof of a van and connected to the audio system of the vehicle through a computer. Six people (which is the number of seats in the van) choose six city routes during a night ride. City street lights, window shops, advertising lights, depending on the traffic and direction, create an hour long sound sequel. The driver is the composer in this case and every performance is unique. It should be noted that this is the first luminoacoustic project of this kind ever.
