Sonic Shadows by Bill Fontana
SF MOMA
This piece was my first experience with a sound installation in as an art piece. I felt this piece was perfectly embodied the idea of experimental sound. The picture on the far right shows the piece with viewers on it. What the viewer experiences while he or she walks across the bridge on the 5th floor of the MOMA is inanimate objects coming to life via sound. Essentially what is taking place is a live feed of a recreation of the the surrounding area through the medium of sound. Audio beams are shot around the hollowed room via ultra sonic speakers and are played through the speakers set up across the bridge. The sound is haunting, as though the walls are whispering to the viewers.
