The Exponential Horn: In Search of Perfect Sound
Tune in to the Science Museum this spring to witness the re-sounding of the UK’s largest ever audio loudspeaker. A full-size reconstruction of the gigantic ‘Denman horn’ will be the centerpiece of an innovative new art installation by Aleksander Kolkowski in our Virgin Media Studio, exploring and celebrating the artefact and its history through newly created sounds, music and the spoken word. Alongside the installation will be a wide-ranging programme of events and audio demonstrations, featuring live broadcasts, sound art and archive radio footage from contributors including the BBC History, Resonance 104.4FM, BBC Radio 3, Archive of the Now, London College of Communication, Royal College of Music, and Royal College of Art.
