Ideas for One Week in Summer

An idea that I have been playing with, for the week long installation during the summer. A 3 mobile phone connected to a mic, housed in a water proof surround, powered by a cheep solar panel (matalan £30). At the other end of the point, another 3 mobile capable of connecting for free via Skype to the first phone, this phone being in the lighthouse and connected to amplifier and speakers.

Visitors to the lighthouse would be able to connect to the sounds being captured by the mirror and then amplified throughout the Lighthouse, from the top down live from the mirror.





I put together some of the sounds captured at Spurn using Audacity. The following sound piece is that combination plus the Morse and German translation of the last log entry (on repeat) The sounds from Spurn are a combination of the wind and wildlife at the mirror played firstly at the base of the lighthouse and then moving slowly up through the rooms which decrease in size whilst increasing in intensity.
