ACOUSTICAL VIEWS OF KYOTO, Kyoto College of Art,1990, and Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art,1993.

In 1990, this sound sculpture was installed on the terraced hilltop campus of the Kyoto College of Art, and, in 1993, in Okazaki park on the facades of the Kyoto National Museum of Modern Art and the Municipal Museum. Both locations had panoramic views of Kyoto. The idea of hearing as far as you could see was realized by placing microphones in the surrounding landscape that broadcast sounds, corresponding to the distant views, back to loudspeakers at the sites. This acoustical viewing of a landscape relates to the traditional Zen garden concept of "borrowed landscape."
