J.J. Hegarty and Mikael Fernström create sound sculptures that use electric field sensing (a la Theremin) to detect the proximity and activity of people in public places.
Fernström writes —
“The sensor signals are connected to a computer (MacBook) running Pure Data, where we re-map the signal to various sound files and audio effects. The resulting sounds are amplified and heard through a loudspeaker in the sensing object that (so far) is a stainless steel sculpture.”
