CLAMS

Clams is a project by Marco Barotti
In nature, clams are
detectors of pollutants; they serve as tiny filtration systems. Inspired by
this natural phenomenon, Marco Barotti is now presenting his new work Clams,
a kinetic sound installation triggered by water quality. Real-time data is
streamed by a sensor and converted into an audio signal. The audio signal
generates a live evolving soundscape which initiates the opening and closing
movements of the Clam sculptures. Sound and motion unite to
create an experience that allows the audience to see and hear the water quality
in real time. The Clams sculptures are made from recycled
industrial plastic waste. The artwork intends to raise awareness about water
and plastic pollution.
