Presentation of the flounder
The flounder is a metal-sculpture made by Nils
Aas. It is placed in Muustrøparken at Inderøy.
Besides its visual expression it will also have
an aural interaction between audience and
physical parameters provided by the environment
in which it stands. The sculpture as a whole will
be finished in may 2006.

Presentation of the flounder

• The work was already started through a dialog
  with Nils Aas in 2003, and is placed at its
  destination showed in the picture. The sound
  installation will express itself by excite the
  metal of the sculpture to provide sound. The
  music from the sculpture will go through
  continuously changing, by getting input from time
  of year, temperature changes, and changes in
  light, and also by how many people there are
  present, and how close they are to the statue.
  The sound installation will be present for a ten
  year period before it will be removed, and the
  statue will take its original form.

Presentation of the flounder

• Functionality
• The flounder will provide sound but also record
  itself and store it by time and date. In that way
  it will be possible to go back to a specific time
  during this decade to find out what was happening
  then. The music will be provided by Øyvind
  Brandsæggs improsculpt. (Live sampler) and will
  do all the processing real-time through the
  internet. There will also be a webpage that can
  be visited during this time period.

Presentation of the flounder

• Techniques
• As earlier mentioned the improsculpt will
  receive parameters and recordings from different
  surroundings in the statues environment, this in
  order to provide the aesthetics of the sound and
  how it proceeds during time.
• Weather station - changes in weather
• Date and time - changes in time
• Measurements of light - changes in light
• Theremin principle - changes by audience.
