CHIMECCO

Client : Sculpture by the Sea
Location : Aarhus, Denmark
Status : Completed 2011

Chimecco converts an existing bridge from a thing of pure function into a interactive musical instrument. The artwork is designed to remain hidden until the wind blows at which point the person on the bridge will discover what lies beneath. The artwork is inspired by the classic windchime but expands this idea to  scale never been seen before. The form of the pipes are arranged into a cave like form to suggest the sculpture is growing from beneath the bridge. As well as listening to the chimes as the wind hits them, the user on the bridge also has the option to participate in the creation of music through kicking a series of sprung beaters onto the pipes below.
