Community-driven soundscapes for environmental awareness and community engagement.
The project was a collaboration between the artist and the Liesbeek community, with the artist working closely with local residents to create a sense of ownership and community involvement.
The Origins of the System
The system was first developed by the artist in 2015, as a response to the growing awareness of climate change and its impact on local communities. The artist was inspired by the concept of “sonic ecology,” which explores the relationship between sound and the environment. This concept was further developed through the artist’s research on the effects of climate change on local ecosystems and the ways in which sound can be used to raise awareness about environmental issues.
Key Features of the System
The Impact of the System
The system has had a significant impact on the Liesbeek community, promoting a sense of ownership and community involvement in the creative process.
The installation was also notable for its use of LED lights, which were strategically placed to create a dynamic visual representation of the soundscape.
The Installation: A Sonic and Visual Experience
The installation, titled “Clicks and Whistles,” was a groundbreaking work of art that combined sound and light to create an immersive experience. The brainchild of Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Meirelles, the installation was a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of preserving cultural heritage.
The Click Symphony
The click symphony was a key element of the installation, and it was a true showstopper. Meirelles describes it as a “click symphony,” a powerful sonic element that was designed to transport the audience to a different world. The clicks were recorded by members of the Khoisan community, who were thoughtfully arranged to create a unique soundscape. The clicks were then spatially distributed across the Meyer Sound loudspeaker system, allowing the audience to be fully immersed in the sound. The clicks were recorded in a variety of locations, including the desert and the mountains, to capture the unique acoustics of each environment. The clicks were then edited and arranged to create a cohesive soundscape. The soundscape was designed to be dynamic and responsive, with the clicks changing and evolving over time.
The Use of LED Lights
The installation also featured a dynamic visual representation of the soundscape, created using LED lights. The lights were strategically placed to enhance the emotional impact of the soundscape, and to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
