Palm House Transect

Ed Osborn works with many forms of electronic media including installation, video, sound, and performance. At Harvestworks he will create Palm House Transect, a large-scale, site-specific sound installation developed for the greenhouse at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York. Built in 1881, it is one of the earliest iron-frame greenhouses in North America and, at 376 feet long, one of the largest of its time. The piece consists of a generative sound composition played through a set of three-dozen loudspeakers spread irregularly throughout the greenhouse structure.
