“Acoustic Horizon” is an interactive sound installation that deals with the acoustic relationship between the human and its environment. Using a soundscape approach, the installation reflects on both the history, present and possible future environmental quality of the Valentinswerder Island by actively blurring the boundaries of proximity and distance. It creates sound forms by generating connections between concepts that we see as opposing such as distant/close, nature/technology, conscious/unconscious, natural/artificial or physical and emotional.

It’s a performative/interactive installation that consists of a hexagonal horn-shaped sculpture, transistors, solar panels, a location sensor (electronic compass), speakers and shakers. The interactive sound installation is powered with solar panels and can be rotated. According to the direction, it brings distant sounds to the site and lets the audience listen to the “horizon”.

“Acoustic Horizon” will be presented as a part of @errant.sound Sonic Fragilities group exhibition on 21 & 22 June 2025 at @floatinguniversity , Lilienthalstraße 32, 10965 Berlin.

Produced in the context of “Island of Things”, Summer 2021, @newmediaclass_udk @s4ntp_gencomp
