STREAM merges the music of San Antonio with the flow of San Pedro Creek. When a sound is made into the microphone sculpture, it becomes visualized as animated light along a 250’ waterfall in real time. While the sculpture is dormant, the lights are activated by the broadcast signal from Texas Public Radio.
The bronze microphone sculpture is made to look like a 1950s era microphone, similar to ones you might have seen at the Alameda Theater. Inside the sculpture is a live microphone that is connected to a custom hardware and software system, designed by the artist, which translates the sound into a colorful light display.
