Venue

Swanston St Forecourt

Eddy is a participatory sculptural instrument, empowering audiences to create a percussive soundscape through collaborative play.

The 10 metre long wall of glossy spheres painted by acclaimed muralist Hari Koutlakis are a visually striking, tactile and aural spectacle.

Each sphere in Eddy is filled with a different material from ping pong balls or metal bearings, to bottle caps and coins. As the audience spins the spheres they discover the unique analogue sound each one creates. As more spheres spin, the percussive reverberations layer to create an evolving soundscape, guided by the public.

Please touch the art!
