MARTHA HVIID & ROBERT AIKI AUBREY LOWE - "OSCILLATION OF SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION (∞)"

oscillation of simple harmonic motion is a sound art collaboration between artists Martha Hviid and Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe.

this edition of 75 is a lathe cut of the original work as well as three variations on a theme housed inside a riso book of concrete poetic forms of the text written by Hviid for the piece with a screen printed cover.

“Sound waves mirror this motion as the energy of a sine wave pushes and pulls – compresses and decompresses. Yet when on the swing the very real fear of losing control and falling off kicks in. Being weightless, floating and suspended in mid-air is an alluring thought, but when on the swing you cannot escape the laws of physics.

Through recorded voices this piece investigates the poetics of science, and how sound and movement impact each other.”
