Benoit Maubrey Takes “Wall of Sound” Literally


MAKE has covered Berlin-based artist Benoît Maubrey’s prior work with Audio Ballerinas. Now he has created a similar, but stationary sculpture using over 1000 repurposed speakers. It’s called “Speakers Wall” and in the center is a genuine piece of the Berlin Wall. It has become something of a speaker’s corner for remote museum attendees who can call in and talk through a set of the speakers for 3 minutes. As an added bonus, the speakers are used as a PA system for DJs during concerts. One can only imagine what that would sound like.
