Electro Animals: circuit-board portraits by illustrator Yo Az.
A ‘sound installation’ inside an abandoned toluene tank in Dottikon, Switzerland by sound artist Zimoun, who (with a lot of help) installed329 DC motors connected to cotton balls to create this walk-in, thrumming, mesmeric perma-din. From Zimoun’s artist’s statement:
Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun’s minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.
