Chimecco is an interactive instrument that hides silently under the bridge in the forest until it is activated by human movements or the wind, making it sing, dance and play with the senses
Bridge as interactive tool. Anodized aluminium tubes moving in the wind
Mark Nixon of London-based studio Neon has transformed a bridge in Aarhus, Denmark, into a musical instrument by hanging metal tubes at the bottom. The musical bridge creates a surreal scenery accompanied by the sound that blends with the sounds of the forest
The piece is made of gold anodized aluminium tubes with a diameter of 60 and 50 mm and a length ranging from 120 mm up to 3.750 mm. These tubes are hooked to the lower part of a bridge and with a series of interactive knots on the upper surface, this allows people to strike the instrument as they pass by
