Sounding the Air is an aeolian musical instrument that is played by the air. Its sounds are produced by five threads of spider silk–each 6 meters long–woven by a spider between two carbon fiber poles, that drift and resonate in the air. Real-time video captures the movements of these ‘strings’, translating them into sonic frequencies and patterns.
