Artist Jem Finer is in the process of developing a new artwork for Cambridge CB1 station area entitled Supercomputer as part of the programme for public art. Supercomputer is a functioning computer made from a series of beautifully constructed and designed pipes, it will be enclosed in a glass fronted pavilion, similar to the mainframe computers of the 1970’s. Supercomputer will be designed to play pitched percussive instruments incorporated in the structure, in effect turning the computer into a composing calculator creating new compositions over a 179 year period.. The sounds generated by the sculpture will be relayed through a speaker system incorporated in the pavilion’s structure, which will be activated at certain points of the day.
