Yuri Suzuki installs six colourful sound-modifying sculptures in Atlanta
About
Sonic Playground features ingenious, colorful sculptures that modify and transmit sound in unusual, engaging and playful ways.
This installation is made up of 6 interactive sound sculptures that manipulate sound depending on where you are standing, listening or speaking. Using horns and pipes the acoustics can travel from one end to the other in a playful way, by kneeling down to listen or sitting between two pipes sounds can be transported from different parts of the sculptures to create a fun and unique listening experience. The main material of the pieces is steel, powder coated to give a matte painted finish in bright playful colours.
Sonic Playground continues the High’s multi year initiative to animate its outdoor space with commissions that engage visitors in participatory art experiences. It will be the High’s first venture into exploring the notion of audible play—how the sounds all around us can be constructed, altered and experienced. The installation will transform the piazza into a welcoming atmosphere for socializing and recreation and will serve as a stage for performances and art-making activities the High will co-organize with local arts organizations.
