Dimensions: Variable
What is it: Fan Letters are a series of autonomous
installations that represent letter forms with sound using copper wire,
light emitting diodes (led), motors, clips, and containers. Two microphones
have been strategically placed on two walls nearing a corner to capture
the wind generated by an oscillating fan swinging from left to right.
The microphones are set up in such a way that the sound generated from
the fan blowing on them generates enough current to light up a series
of LED's and to run the vibrating motors afixed to the copper wire. When
the oscillating fan blows the microphone on the left wall, the letter
form lights up and the motor vibrates generating a rattling sound in its
container. When the fan blows the microphone on the right wall, the left
wall is dark and quiet, and the word on the right wall corresponding to
the letter lights up and vibrates. The viewer can also affect the light
and motor output by making noise in the room, or by speaking directly
into the microphones. The microphones respond to other sounds generated
in the room such as talking, stomping, clapping, etc. The oscillating
fans serve to demonstrate and instigate interaction.
