KARL MARX BONSAI
A joint project of Architettura Sonora and Plastique Fantastique the Karl Marx Bonsai project consist of one trunk, one garbage can and three benches that are temporarily merged into one walkable inflated structure: the Flowerpot.
The newly generated pot-space is experienced, animated and amplified by sound – the Flower-Catalyzer. The protected and isolated new soundscape creates an immersive urban sonic island within the surrounding: just a really thin plastic membrane, vibrated by the sound, acts as a threshold between two really different perceptive experiences. This condition brings people to question the relationship between private and public space and the way they experience their everyday environment and realize how it is affected by noise pollution.
Lorenzo Brusci’s compositions and the live acts of Marco Barotti give birth to a vibrating pneumatic sound-system.
