Sisyphus 2.0
Sisyphus 2.0 is an interactive sound installation that invites questions about technology, artistic authorship, and physical toil. Originally created for a commission by Arts Brookfield, the 6 ½ foot steel sphere is programmed to “sing” in response to the way it’s rolled along the ground. Internal accelerometers read the coordinates of the sphere and activate different sound files based on its position. The piece rewards sustained interaction and over time, a person can learn to “play” the sphere like a musical instrument.
