"Transience: Sound Installation"
2001-02-01 until 2001-03-31
Kiasma, Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki
Helsinki, , FI

Transience will address and (re)interpret the urban soundscape; it will reflect the transient nature of both urban life and of sound itself. It will fill the void at the centre of Kiasma via the invisible medium of sound, using a unique computerised diffusion system to allow artists and composers from Finland and the UK to 'choreograph' the movement of sound especially for this space..

Designed and curated by John Wynne and Michael Madsen with support from NIFCA, Transience is an installation which is large in scale but at the same time ethereal; the work will embody the paradox of the urban environment, which generates a state of heightened sensitivity to sounds as signifiers while also demanding a highly developed process of selective listening
