کار خاصی به لحاظ تکنیکی نکرده انگار اما از مسیری سرد و بی روح در دل یک بنا رنگینکمانی زنده ایجاد کرده.
غیر از ساخت خوب و سادهش چیزی که برام عجیب و پرسش آور بود این بود که آیا این تنوع رنگ طبیعیه؟
اگه این تنوع رنگی در شیشه کار صنعت پیشرفته ی امریکاست که واقعا باید به این صنعت احترام گذاشت! اما اگه این تنوع محصول صنعت نیست پس چه طور این کار رو کرده؟
'harmonic convergence' installation by christopher janney, at the miami international airport in florida, USA
the work of american sound architect christopher janney, 'harmonic convergence' is an interactive sound and light installation, constructed within the pedestrian walkway of the miami international airport in florida. to be officially inaugurated to coincide with art basel miami beach and design miami 2011 this december, the piece replaces janney's 1997 commission at the airport, 'harmonic runway'.
the work combines light, colour, and sound as it leads passengers from a rental car terminal to the airport proper.
speakers installed at regular intervals along the walkway create a continuously changing 'sonic portrait' of south florida
as they play the sounds of tropical birds, thunderstorms, and other environments native to the region. video sensors at either end of the passageway track visitor movement, causing changes in the density and composition of the sound piece relative to the number of passengers in the space.

the work required that the shading louvers along the passageway's western side first be removed, increasing the light
and openness of the space. the existing glass panels were then replaced with coloured glass in a diagonal pattern
that mimics the existing X-bracing of the walkway. these columns, along with the floor and ceiling, were painted white
to catch the play of colour and sunlight.
to continue the installation's effect during night hours, janney replaced the existing fluorescent lighting
with a series of computer-controlled LED lights.
