The Sounds of Jean Tinguely: Acoustic Imaging as a Tool for Kinetic Art Conservation
Público DepositedConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerSwiss artist Jean Tinguely created many moving art pieces, known as kinetic sculptures. These sculptures create unique soundscapes as they scrape against themselves, but this causes continual wear to the pieces. This IQP, sponsored by Empa and Haute-École Arc and in collaboration with the Museum Tinguely, aimed to evaluate the use of an acoustic camera, a device that can find the source of specific sounds. By using this camera to discern any new or altered sounds the sculptures create, we could suggest sites of wear to be investigated by conservators. This technique could be applied to kinetic art conservation as a whole, preserving these pieces for generations to come. We also created an exhibit for museum patrons that explains the potential role of acoustic imaging in art conservation.
