project D:Edwin van der Heide

Edwin van der Heide is an artist and researcher in the field of sound, space and interaction. He extends the terms composition and musical language into spatial, interactive and interdisciplinary directions. His work comprises installations, performances and environments. The audience is placed in the middle of the work and challenged to actively explore, interact and relate themselves to the artwork.

Our plan exists out of 8 different spaces and every space another experience will be created. Edwin stressed the importance of having a sequence of contrasting spaces and it is not appropriate to come up with a smooth transition between different spaces. By coming up with a smooth transition the contrasts of different spaces will not be fully perceived by the visitors of the park.

In temporary spaces we want to exagerate the noise and in permanent spaces we want to reduce the noise. Edwin told us to make use of parabolic shapes in order to fully perceive the effect we want to create in every space. Parabolic shapes are able to gather te sound and to project the sound in a specific point.
