Zimoun is a simply wonderful Swiss installation artist that I’ve blogged about previously. Here is some of his quite recent work from shows in San Francisco and Quebec. Somehow the combination of the soft, yet industrial materials amassed in large numbers coupled with the live acoustics leads one to think of any combination of rain, the purring of cats or distant, menacing drummers.

Swiss artist Zimoun creates spellbinding audio-based installations. This one in particular, using towers of cardboard boxes really floats my boat. Such a warm and strangely soothing sound and no computers involved. Just tons of tiny motors gently beating and scraping on the re-purposed corrugated paper products. I could listen for hours.
