Japanese sound artist and designer Yuri Suzuki has created Arborhythm, an immersive outdoor art installation capturing the sights and sounds of San Francisco, California.
Suzuki's sound project was commissioned to coincide with the Art of Noise exhibition - a multi-sensory tribute to how design has shaped music consumption over the past 100 years - at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SMOMA).
Positioned at SMOMA's entrance, Suzuki's sculptures are visible from a distance and have a distinct technicolour appearance that contrasts against the muted palette of the museum's architecture.
The artist was inspired by the shapes of trees when designing the sculptures, which contain speakers transmitting sounds that reference the San Francisco Bay area.
"The sculpture's form, inspired by trees, symbolises a welcoming presence, while its colours draw from local objects, landmarks, and natural surroundings, further anchoring it in the context of the city," Suzuki told Dezeen.
