silence and cacophony





'Soundpool: The manufacturing of silence' is a sound sculpture and an interactive audio installation by artist Steve Heimbecker, who creates art work related to multichannel sound systems, large scale sculpture, video montage, installations, muti channel data representation, etc.

His work is based on 'his fascination with the architecture of space, and the measurement of time within space' His art is usually a composition of many layers of visual, sonic, sculptural and digital information to be experienced and understood by the viewers.

The installation is made up of 8 giant paintings that also function as audio speakers. When activated, the audience is surrounded by a silent, but physical 3 hertz vibration, within a machanical cacophony of electric machinery.
