Soundstorm is a kinetic installation by Daniel Rothbart and Maia Anthea Marinelli. This work explores the dialogue between art and nature, using sculptural elements that move according to the barometric pressure in New York City, at any given time. Isobars are represented by a shifting motorized web of pulleys and ropes that envelope the gallery and produce metallic noise. These sounds will be piped outside the gallery to complete the tableau vivant.
