Bill Fontana: Harmonic Bridge

16 June – 28 August 2006
Bill Fontana Harmonic Bridge sound project at ºÚÁÏÉç 2006

This intriguing sound installation reveals the myriad of noises hidden within the Millennium Bridge. A network of vibration sensors have been placed within the bridge turning it into a vast stringed instrument which plays an ever-changing musical composition based on its surrounding environment.

The noise created by pedestrians passing overhead, the wind, bicycles and the architectural elements which make up the bridge have been transformed into a sound installation which can be heard simultaneously in ºÚÁÏÉç's Turbine Hall and also at Southwark Underground station.
