These charming robotic woodpeckers transform invisible signals in real time from wireless technology and mobile communication, into audible and visible acoustic rhythmic beats, tapped out on the City’s urban architecture.Popping up and flocking unexpectedly in locations stretching from Station Square to centre:mk, The Woodpeckers will create a live soundscape, unique to Milton Keynes, which undergoes constant transformation and variation.
The creator of this ever-evolving composition and sonic adventure is Berlin-based media artist Marco Barotti.
After music studies at the Siena Jazz Academy, Marco began merging sound with visual art. His work is driven by a desire to invent an artistic language expressed through kinetic sound interventions in natural and urban environments. His installations merge audio technology, consumer objects, and waste into moving sculptures triggered entirely by sound. The primary focus of his work is to create a ‘tech ecosystem’ that plays with resemblances to animals and plants. The resulting artworks serve as a metaphor for the destructive human impact on the planet and aim to make people aware of environmental issues.
