Sound-Color-Space (1980)
From Unearthing The Music
’Sound-Colour-Space’ was an audiovisual installation created by composer László Vidovszky (1944) and painter Ilona Keserű (1933) in 1980. The artists tried to create a specific object, in which colour and sound are changing in the same system, so the viewer always has a different tone and colour experience. This monumental work was about 127 suspended whistles in different colours and musical tuning with time-switch controlled bellows, evenly spaced in a 480 cm square standard hexagon. The total range was approximately one octave. The work was presented on the 2nd of June 1981 in Budapest and exhibited in the Kunsthalle between the 2nd and 27th of June 1982.
