Maria Blondeel Video Meteorology: Wondering What the Sky Sounds Like Tielt (28-08-2002 at 9pm) 12 mins, Sound Installation Video, 2002)
The tones you hear are produced by an electronic sound generator installed in a car. A Cmos module and 2 light sensors were attached to the windshield of a car facing the sky. The pitch and intensity of the sound changed in real-time according to the light situation. You hear a mix of high and low pitched square waves recorded while driving. The recording was made at night in the country side near Tielt, Belgium. Street lights became the main element in the work and shape sequences with speed and distance. Maria pursues a multidisciplinary approach to time-based experiments in technology, light and sound and has exhibited her work in the United States, Europe, Singapore and Japan. Ghent, Belgium. http://listen.to/street_work
