Harvester
Sound Installation by Ed Osborn

Harvester is an installation that employs sound, kinetic elements, and interactivity to create a shifting audio field from a system of controlled feedback. These sounds are generated in real time and filtered so that they become a set of evolving, resonant low and mid-range tones that can be listened to for an extended period. The piece consists of a set of microphones that are held at the ends of slender, flexible support stands which are moved by electric motors. The stands are distributed around the space so that visitors can walk among them. As they move through the piece, visitors can affect its behavior by their physical presence in the path of the sound. Both the visitor input and its results occur in real physical space. It is a form of interaction that is both complex and subtle, one that is intuitively engaging and rewards extended interaction.
