Description:

A science and art project utilizing an 8' parabolic disc made of aluminum and stainless steel. Park visitors are encouraged to sit on the "x" shaped bench in front of the disc. Wind driven obsidian chimes suspended inside a US Navy fog horn broadcast from the top of a 20' radio tower in a small wetland bog a hundred yards away. If viewers listen carefully or have a conversation sitting on the bench the parabolic disc captures and re-sculpts the sound. Exhibited in Art in Freedom Park 2005, Atlanta, GA
