ABOUT ARTWORK “OVERFLOW” by OK! Transmit:
Overflow is a generative, kinetic sound sculpture driven by real-time sensor input from traffic patterns on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. It captures and reinterprets data from live traffic activity and transforms it into an evolving soundscape. Overflow transduces live camera input into sound and uses the lanes of traffic as a musical score. As the bridge in a song brings together the verse and the chorus,Overflow explores the idea of using this unique piece of architecture as a metaphor for connecting time and space.
