The Silent Wall

Anna-Maria Einla

We are used to the environment of different sounds and different sound volumes. The Silent Wall project is devised to provide visual feedback on the volume of sound. The wall is decorated with a sound sensitive pattern. The louder the sound is the more of the electro-luminescent animal figures would vanish from the pattern. A whisper or the sound of a rain shower would erase birds; more and more creatures would be off, as the volume increases, until bears would disappear in case of heavy noise.
