Mark Nixon’s "Chimecco": A Bigger, Better Windchime at Sculpture by the Sea
Posted in: Uncategorized
British architect / designer / artist Mark Nixon is pleased to present “Chimecco,” a kinetic sculpture, as part of the third annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Aarhus, Denmark.
The gold-anodized aluminum pipes—600 in all—which are attached to the underside of the bridge, can be “played” by manipulating spring-loaded nodes on the surface. While their diameter is fixed at 50mm each, the pipes vary in length—and pitch—from 120mm to 3750mm (over 10 feet), as in a traditional windchime.
