Denmark is the country with the most popular wind power plants in the world and the country with the highest proportion of wind power generation in the overall power generation. As a result of long-term reliance on wind power, it is not surprising to see works with the theme of wind power in the 2014 Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI). The "Sound of Denmark" design proposed by designers Laura Mesa Arango and Rafael Sanchez Herrera is located on the edge of the Copenhagen harbor. It consists of 12 wind acceleration turbines shaped like Viking horns. It has the functions of generating electricity and sound. Let the public feel the power of the wind and sound of nature at the same time. The annual power generation is expected to reach 117 million watt hours.
The principle of Sound of Denmark is to use turbines to concentrate wind power. When the airflow passes through the bent pipe, the airflow speed increases and produces a special sound when it passes through the hole under the horn. Each sound can correspond to a letter related to nature, including: S-U-N, W-A-T-E-R, I-C-E. Although the content sounds quite environmentally friendly, people are inevitably curious about how loud it is. Otherwise, they will inevitably fall into the dilemma of solving power generation pollution, but adding noise pollution.
The horn installations are divided into four groups. Each group has three types of horns: large, medium and small. They are placed along the seaside and elevated off the ground. They can only be approached through stairs and platforms. Each horn is made of wood and metal materials dismantled from abandoned ships, which is environmentally friendly and reduces costs while commemorating the local maritime history and industrial heritage. Through Sound of Denmark, the designer witnessed the historical significance and future development of wind to Denmark. In the past, the Vikings relied on the wind to blow their sails when sailing on the sea. Today, the wind blowing through Denmark is still the same, but it has blown new worlds and become an endless source of renewable energy.
