Groundswell is an interactive sound art installation. It invites participants to move – individually or collaboratively – across a platform that tilts under their collective weight. This sets in motion thousands of metal balls that create oceanic waves of sound. The motion is disrupted by periodic swells of powerful low vibration.
Groundswell explores our individual and collective impact on the spaces we inhabit. As we move across the surface of the work, we are reminded how our actions are inextricably linked.
