APERTURA is an interactive sonic sculpture set in a UNESCO World Heritage Site in at Walltown Country Park, Northumberland, UK. The sculpture us made up of 1900 copper chimes, creating an evolving soundscape in the ever-changing breeze and inviting audiences to experience a constantly changing, interactive spectacle of shimmering light and sound. Commissioned for Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival, APERTURA has been created in response to the history and topography of this stunning World Heritage Site. APERTURA has been commissioned by Northumberland County Council on behalf of the Hadrian’s Wall Partnership for Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival. It is funded by the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
