Fault Whisper in San Diego, California

In 2015, Living Lenses added a public art installation titled Fault Whisper in Fault Line Park in East Village, San Diego. The installation consists of two metal spheres situated directly across from one another, and an accelerometer installed below the spheres in the fault rupture.

The accelerometer monitors the movements along the fault rupture and records the direction and amplitude of the movement. The data is then converted into musical notes and broadcast from the west sphere viewfinder.
