broadway.jpgBroadway (2007), by Jacob Kirkegaard, is a five-channel sound installation comprising the columns that run through the gallery space and the entire building. Although elements of the building’s architecture, the columns also transmit subtle vibrations generated by movement on the street and subway below. The internal sound of each column was recorded with accelerometers and is played back into the columns by means of sixty small exciters. Thus the five columns are transformed into loudspeakers, each of which plays out the sounds of Broadway in its individual resonant frequency.

With this piece, Kirkegaard not only outlines a multifaceted portrait of Broadway as idea, location and historical concept - he also offers a unique means of experiencing the reverberations of an urban environment, conducted vertically by the columns. More info: secretsounds.dk/nada. [via VVORK]
