This interactive sculpture by Mitchell F. Chan "Visions of Amen" is a whole new way of imagining music. There are sixteen strings atached to motors above and weighted down by brass bars. Each string responds to a different note and the speed of rotation varies with the volume of the note, making each song and even each delivery of it a unique experience. It is amazing how the strings move in sine-waves mimicking the gesture of vibrating violin strings. The performance is compared to the ballet with dancers bobbing up and down in space and their elegant waves and gestures trailing behind.
