Title: Mute and Bright
Artist/s: Stuart Green and Rob Muir (sound artist) in collaboration with Dave Primmer
Year: 2008
Category: Sculpture
Site: Victoria Park Station
Location Details: Victoria Park Station Platform
Description:
The work consists of two major objects, a large self-patinating steel speaker-bell and a smaller, similarly-shaped speaker in stainless steel. The two objects are linked by an interactive audio program developed by visually-impaired sound artist Rob Muir, referencing the important link the station has with patrons of the nearby Association for the Blind.
Artist/s Statement:
The artworks offer a visual solidity while producing timed and interactive sampling and replaying of altered sounds. They create an ever-changing soundscape that can be both heard and felt.
