"Supersonic" Zeppelin-Shaped Theremin by Björn Schülke

Björn Schülke will be showing his kinetic and interactive sculptures at the Bitforms Gallery in New York from January 18th to February 23rd, showing off five new sculptures influenced by musical instruments.

Supersonic emits soft, low frequency sounds from a contoured and zeppelin-shaped fiberglass shell that is mounted to the gallery wall. Its clinically white, streamline form houses a theremin which detects and responds to the proximity of a viewer, emitting a range of bass frequency notes. Appearing to hold sophisticated powers of celestial communication or locomotion, the sculpture simply rests in a static observant position.

His previous work, linked below, is even more striking visually, including bristling Sputnikesque robots and flying drones with televisions for faces. And they're all in white so you know it's art. Actually, let me throw a couple of more images of his past work below. It's really great.
