Springtime in a Small Town

Peter Bosch & Simone Simons

2006


This installation is all about vibrations. Wooden boxes on springs start wobbling as soon as visitors approach. In a complex system boxes influence each other. Small changes in movement may cause completely different and unexpected soundscapes. The relation order-chaos is under scrutiny in a constant stream of changes. A powerful experiment by the physician Nikola Tesla that induced a tiny earthquake, inspired the creators.

Hard- and software development in cooperation with Günter Geiger.

Peter Bosch (NL) has studied psychology and sonology, while Simone Simons (NL) has specialized in audiovisual design. Bosch & Simons have been working on autonomous “music machines” since 1990. They both live and work in Spain.
