Sonic Articulation of Sunbeams uses the sun to create and ever changing auditory landscape. As the sun passes overhead, small solar actuators harvest the energy and propel sounds through the large megaphone structure.
A collaboration with Daniel Dean and Emily Stover. Commissioned by the Bakken Museum of Electricity. Wood and steel fabrication by TandemMade. 3D rendering support by Drew Anderson.
