The Skyhorn at the UCSF Health Bayfront Medical Building represents a first-time collaboration between UCSF Health and Wowhaus, a California-based artist team of Scott Constable and Ene Osteraas-Constable.
The award-winning duo’s “monumental, interactive sound sculpture” called “Skyhorn” towers 12 feet high and decorates the building’s 3rd Street side.
“It was a great creative challenge,” Ene Osteraas-Constable said.
Just inside the building, a soundscape mural, titled “Sunset/Sunrise” stretches down a long corridor, measuring 13 feet tall and 80 feet wide. Designed and created by Oakland artist Adia Millett, the work uses three different speakers placed above a colorful mural that each emit different Koshi chime tones representing Earth’s calming elements.
The audio element of Sunset/Sunrise was designed by sound artist Michael DuCott and can be heard in the video combined with some other music.
