Ars Electronica Festival · 2010
The Prayer Drums
by Armin Purkrabek, Louis-Philippe Demers, Phillip Schulze
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2010
In 2010, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “The Prayer Drums” by Armin Purkrabek, Louis-Philippe Demers and Phillip Schulze (Digital Musics & Sound Art) with a Honorary Mention.
The primary concept of the environment is drawn from rotating cylinders, the prayer drums found in Buddhist monasteries. The resulting piece is a large-scale interactive sound installation designed to integrate the architecture of a public space.
