From 1 December 2011 to 1 March 2012 in Husum  a suburb of Copenhagen, Denmark, there will be sounds and lights of Husum Vocal from Talking Glowing Heads hanging high in the electric poles in places where the young girls from Club 348 want a mood change in the urban

If you pass under the Husum Vocal in the darkness of winter, then the sensors react and the installations begin to light-sound the pulse of local voices and sound expression 3.5 meters up over one’s head. Enjoy!

12 young girls from the leisure club Club 348 made up their own sounds for the heads. The girls went on the streets and recorded people’s voices in Husum. All material was mounted as interactive LED-Rgb-light & sound inside ‘technique-skulls’ made of IKEA trash bins, which the girls covered with recycled rubber tubes + more from the scrap-dealer to form the Talking Glowing Heads together with artist Karoline H. Larsen.

Karoline did the light-technical stuff with Rgb-controller etc. and got help from sound engineer Søren Lyngsø Knudsen, who did the sound-technical stuff, with help for Fez programming (Visuals C#) from Sune Hede and Carl Emil Carlsen
