Steve Messam<\/a>\u00a0is an artist<\/a>\u00a0who has been working on a new sound installation project for the City of Newcastle. Called “Whistle”, the project involves the distribution of 16 steam engine whistles around the historic walls of the city. The whistles are triggered at 1pm every day by Raspberry Pis which are connected to the\u00a0National Physical Laboratory\u2019s atomic clock in London so that the timing is super-accurate. The equipment is powered by batteries which are charged from solar energy making each whistle a standalone project in itself. Nebula Labs<\/a> were tasked with programming the Pis which use air instead of steam to make the whistles sound.
