The work features a sound installation made of microtonally tuned steel rods, activated by solenoids and controlled by radar sensors. The installation serves as a commentary on artificial intelligence, emphasizing the necessity of human consciousness in our interactions with digital tools.
The rods were made from SuperDuplex steel tubing frequently used in the Norwegian offshore industry. They were salvaged from a warehouse, where they were kept after being discarded from production usage. The rest of the piece is made from oak, valchromat, rubber bands and an Arduino board.
The piece is a collaboration between Jonas Sjøvaag and engineering student Luis Fernando Jack, both (both University of Agder). As such it seems reasonable to mention that it was created entirely without the use of AI.
