‘The City Speaks’ – Michael Pinsky
 Tidal Surge Barrier, Humber Street (January – December)
www.michaelpinsky.com

Michael Pinsky is a British artist whose international projects have created innovative and challenging works in galleries and public spaces. He has undertaken many residencies that explore issues which shape and influence the use of our public realm. Taking the combined roles of artist, urban planner, activist, researcher, and resident, he starts residencies and commissions without a specified agenda, working with local people and resources, allowing the physical, social and political environment to define his working methodology.

For 'The City Speaks' Michael will turn the Tidal Surge Barrier into an Interactive text work that will display the voices of Hull. Members of the public will be encouraged to speak into a microphone positioned on Humber Street. The words they speak into the microphone will then appear on one side of the Tidal Surge Barrier. 

The technology/software for this project has been developed through Michael's Pinksy's public realm bench commission.

The work will run from 01/01/2017 to 31/12/17 and will be free for anyone to interactive with.
