Wave Structures
During an Aldeburgh Residency in 2005, Simon Daw and Gavin O'Carroll explored the idea of creating an interactive, online sculpture. The resulting construction allowed anyone in the world to contribute to a virtual matchstick sculpture on Aldeburgh Beach, washed away at each high tide.
The installation was also translated into a physical reality at Snape with an added musical soundscape, as part of the Open Air series during the 58th Aldeburgh Festival in 2005.
