Sonic Bloom by Yuri Suzuki is designed to connect people through sounds. The installation is located in London at the Brown Hart Gardens and boasts a cluster of colorful horn-shaped speaking tubes. Visiting Londoners can use the tubes to communicate with others on the opposite end.
Yuri Suzuki is a sound artist and designer. He worked with Alter-Projects to curate each of Sonic loom's horns. A network of red, yellow, and blue tubes is arranged to resemble a blooming flower. While some horns are positioned to allow users to speak to one-and-other, others face upwards to catch the general sounds of the city. The interactive aspect of the sculpture was a key component of Suzuki's vision.
